## TRUSTEES' REPORT
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
The trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice: (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS102) in preparing the trustees' report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, 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 published in October 2019.
## _**Objectives and activities**_
## **a. Policies and objectives**
The charity is limited in its activities insofar as it shall provide support for the poor and needy of the City of Sheffield.
No changes to the objects or policy of the charity have been affected in recent years.
## **b. Strategies and activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
These objects are met by the provision of residential accommodation at the hospital and of a respite care facility at Beech Hill and by the making of grants to charities whose activities fall within the above scope.
The agent and receiver monitors the quality of service delivery by regular contact with hospital residents, the management at Beech Hill and the recipients of institutional grants.
## **c. Grant-making policies**
The charity invites applications for grants of financial assistance from other charities whose objectives are compatible with its own. All applications are accompanied by a summary of proposals, financial resources and statement of ability to deliver.

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **Objectives and activities (continued)**
## **d. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit**
The trustees are aware of their duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Public Benefit Guidance as published by the Charity Commission.
Within the constraints of its governing document the charity and its activities are of benefit to the general public of Sheffield.
The almshouse complex, known as the Hospital, comprises 74 one bedroom almshouses set within 5.5 acres of landscaped grounds close to Sheffield City Centre. The accommodation is for the elderly and to varying degrees the infirm. Two fulltime Wardens, a Caretaker and Chaplain live onsite. The wardens check on resident’s welfare daily (unless the resident requests no visit). Each almshouse is linked via a warden call system which is monitored 24/7 in the case of emergency. Communal facilities comprise an Assembly Hall and Chapel. Activities are arranged by staff, the Chaplain and residents, they include regular coffee mornings, snooker, table tennis, darts, bingo and regular services in the chapel. Computers with internet are available for residents to use, there are several allotments for resident’s use.
The Beech Hill Centre is managed for the charity by Sheffield NHS Primary Care Trust which provides respite care facilities and support in the home to a large number of members of the public.
Institutional grants are made annually to charities with activities in Sheffield who support the elderly and/or infirm in the community.
## _**Achievements and performance**_
## **a. Key performance indicators**
The agent and receiver monitors the quality of service delivery by regular contact with hospital residents, the management at Beech Hill and the recipients of institutional grants.
## **b. Review of activities**
The level of occupancy at the Almshouses has remained static.
The trustees are ultimately responsible for systems of financial management and internal controls. They delegate day to day operation of controls to the agent and receiver. The trustees monitor the application of good financial controls.
## **c. Factors relevant to achieve objectives**
The agent and receiver is instructed to maintain all real property to a good standard and to improve rental income by ongoing refurbishment.
## **d. Volunteers**
The Trust does not actively engage with volunteers, with the exception of the trustees who all give their time free of charge.

## **THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD**
## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
## **e. Investment policy and performance**
The Charity Commission Scheme specifies the charity’s investment powers.
The charity’s investment strategy is monitored against a benchmark (ARC Balanced Asset PCI) on an annual basis. In the year to 31 December 2024, the performance of the investment portfolio was ahead of the benchmark. The portfolio performance was +9.2% on a total return basis whilst the benchmark performance was +6.4%.
The investment advisors are instructed to invest in a balanced portfolio which will maximise total return with medium to low risk investments. The income from listed investments for the year totalled £139,499 (2023: £145,182).
## _**Financial review**_
## **a. Going concern and post balance sheet events**
Free reserves at 31 December 2024 are £1,021,273. The agent and receiver has prepared forecasts of income and expenditure for 4 years from 31 December 2024 which shows that the charity has sufficient reserves to be able to continue for the foreseeable future. The Trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.
## **b. Reserves policy**
The charity's total reserves as at 31 December 2024 were £15,052,848 (2023: £16,253,663) of which £14,031,575 (2023: £15,212,055) are endowments and £1,021,273 (2023: £1,041,608) are unrestricted free reserves.
The trustees have forecast the income and expenditure of the charity over the next 4 years to establish the level of free reserves they require. The charity needs to hold free reserves to ensure that the hospital can keep running should there be any significant decline in income, in conjunction with the need for ongoing repair expenditure on the ageing property. The target level of reserves is quantified as £1,000,000. At 31 December 2024 free reserves are £1,021,273 (2023: £1,041,608). The trustees consider this level of reserves is sufficient to enable them to continue to fulfil their charitable objects over the foreseeable future.
The rise of inflation will impact on The Trust, namely construction and utility costs. A review of expenditure has been undertaken and revised 4 year cashflow forecasts have been prepared and will be closely monitored. The review has identified a number of opportunities for The Trustees to consider.
## **c. Principal funding**
The principal funding stream of the charity is rental income from the estate and from quoted investments. Investment income amounted to £485,230 (2023: £506,400).

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **d. Results for the year**
The charity continues to satisfy its objects and is financially secure. As at 31 December 2024 funds totalled £15,052,848 (2023: £16,253,663). These include the hospital property which is an inalienable asset at £2,975,465 (2023: £2,958,385) and the leasehold property, Beech Hill at £300,000 (2023: £300,000) neither of which can be sold by the trustees.
The financial statements give details of the charity's funds and how these have been applied during the year.
Total income amounted to £557,199 (2023: £536,816). Total expenditure was £762,073 (2023: £878,215).
Net expenditure before gains and losses for the year was £204,874 (2023: £341,399). This is after capitalisation of expenditure on refurbishment of certain investment properties and the almshouses. Net gains/losses on investments and other losses, which include the listed investments and the investment property portfolio, as well as exchange rate losses, came to a loss of £995,941 (2023: gain of £153,734). Net movement in funds for the year was a deficit of £1,200,815 (2023: deficit of £187,665).
## **e. Risk management**
The trustees review the major risks to which the charity is exposed on an annual basis and act as necessary to mitigate those risks.
The trustees rely on the reports received from professional advisors, particularly Cazenove Capital Management Limited for the investments and Fowler Sandford for the operational management of the almshouses. Each have professional indemnity insurance. Reports are received at each meeting of trustees, where they are discussed and questioned, and visits round the premises are made. Budgets are set annually and performance reviewed against these at each meeting.
External risks to funding have led to a strategic plan being prepared by the Investment Advisors.
Internal risks are minimised by authorisation procedures to ensure quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity’s activities.
## **Plans for future periods**
## **a. Future developments**
The progressive upgrading of the residential accommodation at the hospital will be continued.
The trustees intend to continue to make grants to other charities whose work complements that of the charity.
The trustees are considering plans for the future which may involve capital expenditure within the charity's financial resources.
## **Information on fundraising practices**
The charity does not actively fundraise and is therefore not a participant of a voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising.

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 year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 2019 (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

## **THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD**
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD
We have audited the financial statements of The Hospital of Gilbert, Earl of Shrewsbury at Sheffield (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2024, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **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 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**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees' report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

## **THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD**
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD (CONTINUED)
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- the responsible individual ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with management and trustees, and from our knowledge and experience of this charity;
- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011, data protection, employment law, building regulations and health and safety legislation;
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and trustees;
- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

## **THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD**
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD (CONTINUED)
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by;
- making enquiries of management and trustees as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risks of fraud through management bias and override controls, we:
- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected variances;
- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 2.17 were indicative of potential bias; and
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## **Use of our report**
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. 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’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **1. General information**
The Hospital of Gilbert, Earl of Shrewsbury at Sheffield is a registered unincorporated charity in the United Kingdom. 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 on pages 2 and 3.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## _**2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**_
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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
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) issued in October 2019 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.
## _**2.2 Going concern**_
Free reserves at 31 December 2024 are £1,021,273. The agent and receiver has prepared forecasts of income and expenditure for 4 years from 31 December 2024 which shows that they have sufficient reserves to be able to continue for the foreseeable future. The Trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.
## _**2.3 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.
Rental and investment income are accounted for on a receivable basis.
## _**2.4 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 costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are

## **THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**2.4 Expenditure (continued)**_
apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity in the management of the charity's endowment funds and investment portfolio.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## _**2.5 Foreign currencies**_
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction.
Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## _**2.6 Taxation**_
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## _**2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**_
Tangible fixed assets are stated at deemed cost or actual cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Freehold land and buildings were valued using depreciated replacement cost at the date of transition to FRS 102.
Leasehold property were valued using on an estimated open market value subject to the existing lease at the date of transition to FRS 102.

## **THE HOSPITAL OF GILBERT, EARL OF SHREWSBURY AT SHEFFIELD**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)**_
Freehold property comprises the Almshouses and the Hospital which are inalienable assets. Freehold property includes land which is not depreciated. Depreciation on freehold property is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Freehold buildings are depreciated at 2% on a straight line basis.
Leasehold property comprises Beech Hill which is an inalienable asset. The Beech Hill property is not depreciated. It is the charity's policy to maintain the property in a good state of repair and as a consequence the value of the property is not being reduced significantly by the passage of time. Hence, in the view of the trustees, any element of depreciation is immaterial.
## _**2.8 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.
Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.
## _**2.9 Investment properties**_
Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their open market value in accordance with FRS 102 and are not depreciated.
## _**2.10 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.
## _**2.11 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.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**2.12 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.
## _**2.13 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.
## _**2.14 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.
## _**2.15 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.
Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally the almshouses, listed investments and investment properties. Income arising from 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 from part of the fund. Investment management charges, property management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
## _**2.16 Employee benefits**_
When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Termination benefits are employee benefits payable as a result of the charity's decision to terminate an employee's employment before the normal retirement date.

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**2.17 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment**_
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
In the opinion of the trustees a key estimate is the allocation of shared costs between endowment and unrestricted funds. The allocation is based on assets held within each respective fund and the management time taken to perform activities associated with those fund assets.
Another key estimate is the investment property valuations, which are carried out by chartered surveyors.
