## **2. Structure, Governance and Management**
- The Charity known as The Non-Ecclesiastical Charity of William Moulton was founded by a settlement dated 9 December 1938.
- A scheme of the Charity Commission dated 15 March 1973 consolidated the constitution.
- The body of Trustees shall consist of: One Ex-Officio Trustee being the Vicar of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Three Nominative Trustees appointed by the Council of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Three Co-optative Trustees being persons who through residence, occupation or employment, or otherwise have special knowledge of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. They are appointed for a term of five years by a resolution of the Trustees passed at a special meeting.
The initial induction of the Trustees is undertaken by the Chair of the Trust who outlines the work of the Charity and the role of the Trustees.
At their first meeting new Trustees are introduced and receive general guidance from other Trustees. The Clerk and Trustees are available to offer further guidance. New Trustees also have access (on request) to a file containing the following:
1. “Guidance Notes for the management of the William Moulton Charity”.
2. A copy of a report setting out the Charity’s current position in relation to “Risk Management”.
3. A copy of the Charity’s “Scheme” as issued by the Charity Commission on 15 March 1973.
4. A copy of a report outlining the duties and responsibilities of the Clerk to the Trustees.
5. A copy of the Charity Commission’s “The Essential Trustee: What they need to know”.
Because of the nature of the work of the Charity no specific training is given to the Trustees. Through their attendance at structured monthly meetings Trustees quickly become conversant with their role in assessing applications for financial assistance and overseeing the management of the Charity’s finances and investment portfolio.
- Organisational structure and how decisions are made
Trustees meet on a regular basis (usually monthly) to consider and determine the business set out on the agenda circulated in advance by the Clerk to the Trustees. The agenda, in the main, comprises minutes of the previous meeting, a monthly financial statement and a copy of all applications for financial assistance to be dealt with at the meeting. Decisions are recorded and actioned by the Clerk.
Financial awards in the form of cheques are usually signed by the Clerk and countersigned by a Trustee.
No decisions or transactions occur outside of the formal meetings of Trustees.
- Major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.

## **3. Objects and Activities**
- The objects of the Charity are to:
- a) Pay to the Ecclesiastical Charity of William Moulton an annual amount representing 4% of net yearly income or £25 whichever is greater;
- b) Make financial awards either generally or individually to persons resident in the City of Newcastle Upon Tyne who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress in accordance with the provisions for relief in need;
- _Grant making policies_ Each application for a grant is considered by Trustees on its merits in terms of the degree of need, taking account of personal circumstances of the applicant, dependents, physical and mental well-being, including their level of income over expenditure.
The basic policy/criteria applied is that the applicant must have lived within the boundaries of the City of Newcastle for at least the last 12 months. Also, applicants would only be able to submit one application for support in any twelve months period.
- When planning our activities for the year, Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In particular the Trustees adopt the following approach:
Periodic meetings with the local agency support workers to ensure that the systems and processes we have adopted work to the best benefit of the needy of Newcastle. Feedback received is taken into account and where appropriate adjustments made.
- A close working relationship has been established with the Newcastle Furniture Supplies Service (operated by Your Homes Newcastle) to ensure that those in need the City of Newcastle upon Tyne receive the best possible household items and furniture, etc. at a cost-effective price with a guarantee, reliable delivery and installation service.
## **4. Achievements and Performance**
The Trustees have been able to meet monthly to consider applications for support throughout the Year. During the Year one new Nominative Trustee and one Cooptative Trustee have been appointed. Towards the end of 2023 the Trustees also welcomed the new Dean of Newcastle as an ex officio Trustee for the Charity.
Following the retirement of the previous Independent Examiner the Trustees are pleased to confirm the appointment of Jim Dodds as its new Independent Examiner and look forward to working with him in the future.
During the year the Trustees made 220 awards to people/organisations amounting to a total value of £37,817. These ranged from financial support to the Mothers Union for the organisation of short breaks at the coast for vulnerable families, providing the Chaplaincy at the RVI with funds to provide one off ad hoc small value payments for people arriving at accident and emergency with no funds for refreshments/transport home etc to the provision of carpets, flooring and white goods to individuals in need where the provision of a fridge or washing machine would have a significant impact their day to day lives/general well-being.
Following discussions with the Evelyn Partners (the portfolio managers) the Charity’s investment portfolio has been adjusted/realigned to improve the levels of income from the investments. In June 2023 it was agreed to draw down the funds held in the portfolio cash account (£26,067) to ensure that the
3
**THE NON-ECCLESIASTICAL CHARITY OF WILLIAM MOULTON**
## **Trustees Annual Report**
For the year ended 31 December 2023
Trustees had funds readily available to continue to provide support to those in need at similar levels to previous years. This is now makes up part of the balance held in the Charity’s bank account.
The investment income from the Portfolio increased from £33,088 in 2022 to £36,695 in 2023. This was the highest level received since 2019. The financial markets had been impacted significantly because of the wars in Ukraine and the middle east and the continuing high interest rates. These national and global events have impacted the income available for distribution and increased the numbers of those in need of support in the City. The Trustees will continue to work closely with Evelyn Partners to ensure that it maintains income levels from the Investment Portfolio within agreed risk and investments strategies.
Recognising the importance of supporting the needy and vulnerable of Newcastle and the volume of applications for assistance being received the Charity has continued to maintain the level of grant awards above the generated annual income but within overall resources.
The Trustees receive monthly financial updates on the funds available so that they can maximise the number of awards made whilst ensuring that all commitments can be met. There is careful scrutiny of each application received so that those in most need are allocated resources whilst others might not receive the levels of support requested. Applications where a person has a regular income from paid employment and their financial situation is considered adequate are not supported.
The portfolio’s benchmark comprises UK and Overseas Equity, Fixed Interest (Bonds), Alternative investments, Commercial Property and Cash. Income has been in line with the previous year.
Trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit and they confirm that public benefit has been provided by the range of activities as described above.
Trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit and they confirm that public benefit has been provided by the range of activities as described above.
## **5. Financial Review**
## • _Reserves Policy_
In line with guidance of the independent investment managers, the reserves policy is to hold the equivalent of approximately 1 year of income (at present levels) within the “Accumulation of Income” in order to sustain financial support in the event of a major reduction in investment dividends. At the 31 December 2023 the unrestricted reserves were £37,097 (2022: £22,407) and is equivalent to approximately 1 year of income. This policy continues to be kept under review and will be revisited during 2024.
## • _Investment Income_
To keep the investment portfolio under regular review, particularly following receipt of the quarterly report and valuation from the independent investment managers.
The primary policy is to maintain a diverse balance between bond, equity, property and cash holdings in order to provide a level of income whilst securing capital growth.
## **6. Plans For Future Periods**
The Trustees expect to continue the activities of the charity in accordance with their current objectives, assisting as many people as the funds available to them will allow.

## **7. Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable Charity Law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Comply with applicable accounting standards, 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 operational existence.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements 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.
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
For the year ended 31 December 2023
I report on the financial statements of The Non-Ecclesiastical Charity of William Moulton for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 16.
## **Respective responsibilities 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 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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 if the requirements that the accounts give a "true and fair" view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
For the year ended 31 December 2023

The principle accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## 2 **Basis of accounting**
## 2.1 **Basis of preparation**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts 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 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

## 2.2 **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £37,097 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
## 3 **Income**
## 3.1 **Recognition of income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliably.
## 3.2 **Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.
## 3.3 **Grants and donations**

Income received in advance or provision of other specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.
## 3.4 **Volunteer help**
The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

## 3.6 **Income from membership subscriptions**

## 4 **Expenditure and liabilities**
## 4.1 **Liability recognition**
Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## 4.4 **Irrecoverable VAT**

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
For the year ended 31 December 2023
## 4.5 **Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
## 4.6 **Provisions for liabilities**
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
## 5 **Assets**
## 5.1 **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity**
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

## 5.2 **Investments**
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments.

A prior year adjustment has been made to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The first adjustment arises as the endowment's investment must be fully recognised in the endowment column of the statement of financial activities (SoFA). The second adjustment arises as the unpresented cheques (£7,005) were not included in the closing bank balance.
