## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charities trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 (FRS102). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit. 

The principal object of the charity is to apply such charitable objects for the benefit of the inhabitants of the City of Lincoln and of the Parish of Bracebridge as the Mayor Alderman and Citizens of the said City of Lincoln may from time to time direct. 

## **b. Grant making policies** 

Applications for grants are received by the Trustees and recommendations made to the City of Lincoln Council Committee who makes the final decision. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Review of activities including key performance indicators** 

The charity has made 13 grants in the year totalling £38,957 compared to 10 grants in 2024 totalling £45,309. 

Grants with a value of £5,000 or more in the year were made to Bridge Church, Lincoln. 

## **b. Investment policy and performance** 

The charity’s governing document requires money to be invested in ‘modes of investment authorised by law for the investment of trust funds’. To that end, funds are held in an investment portfolio managed by Brewin Dolphin Limited. Brewin Dolphin Limited are available to provide advice in relation to investments. 

During the year, the charity saw a decrease in the market value of its investment portfolio at the year end from £1,978,051 to £1,928,439. 

Incoming resources from the investment portfolio totalled £53,159 (2024 - £57,144). 

## **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.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

The majority of the charity's reserves are held as investments in order to generate the necessary income to distribute amongst the inhabitants of the City of Lincoln and of the Parish of Bracebridge. These investments, held as the permanent endowment fund, are not available for distribution. 

With regard to the unrestricted fund, the Trustees consider it necessary to hold approximately £75,000 of reserves in case of poor returns during any given year. This level of 'free reserves' is considered adequate to meet the ongoing expenditure and future projects. This is considered evermore appropriate given the current economic climate and the expected return on investments over the coming months. The unrestricted fund balance at the year-end is £78,700 (2024: £72,638). 

In addition, £100,000 of unrestricted reserves are held as part of the endowment funds of the charity. These funds are available for charitable purposes. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. Constitution** 

The John Dawber Trust is a registered charity, number 216471, and is constituted under a Charity Commission Scheme.  The charity is governed by a will proved on 12 January 1905. The charity was established by a Charity Commission Scheme dated 17 August 1951. The charity was registered on 3 October 1963. 

## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees** 

Trustees are appointed with a view to assisting the charity move forward with the main objective. Training is provided to Trustees on an ad hoc basis. 

## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies** 

The day-to-day running of the charity is delegated to Chattertons who act as Clerk to the Trustees. The Trustees have powers to look after the assets and pay expenses of the charity only. It is the City of Lincoln Council who direct how money is to be applied towards charitable causes.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

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

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 Charity Commission Scheme. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The John Dawber Trust ('the charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

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.

The notes on pages 9 to 16 form part of these financial statements.

## **THE JOHN DAWBER TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **1. 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)  and the Charities Act 2011. 

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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The John Dawber Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **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. 

## **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. Expenditure is classified by activity. The charity has a single activity being the payment of grants. Direct costs and support costs are allocated to this activity. 

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **1.4 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

## **THE JOHN DAWBER TRUST** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.5 Investments** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities. 

## **1.6 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. 

## **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** 

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. 

## **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. 

## **1.10 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. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. 

The charity has a single permanent endowment, the income from which should be used in line with the charity's activities.

Endowment funds represent a permanent endowment which is not available for distribution. 

Endowment funds contain £100,000 of Unrestricted funds. During 2010, the Trustees made the decision to make surplus unrestricted funds available for investment to capitalise on the recovery of the stock market. It is noted that should the need arise for charitable usage of these unrestricted reserves then a transfer would be made from the endowment fund to the unrestricted fund. 

Unrestricted funds are those which can be utilised at the discretion of the Trustees. 

During the year the accounting policy has been changed, such that the investment management fees have been charged against the endowment fund rather than unrestricted funds. Accordingly the brought forward funds have been restated.
