**THE GREAT STONE BRIDGE TRUST OF EDENBRIDGE** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objects** 

The charity is required to administer and manage its freehold properties in Edenbridge, its investments and all other property of the charity in conformity with the Schemes dated 10 May 1978 and 26 June 1996. Out of the income of the charity the trustees are to pay the cost of repairs and insurance of the freehold properties and the other expenses of and incidental to the administration and management of the charity. Subject to these payments the trustees are required to apply out of the income a yearly sum of not less than £1,000 in promoting the education of persons under the age of twenty five years and/or providing benefits for any school or other educational establishment in the Parish of Edenbridge. Subject to this the trustees are required to apply the income of the charity as they think fit for any charitable purposes for the general benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Edenbridge. 

## **Public benefit** 

The main object of the Trust is to benefit the inhabitants of Edenbridge at large. It is the Trustees' policy to spread this benefit as widely as possible within the community through the grants which they make. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Review of activities** 

The Trust continued with its objectives of managing and maintaining the trust properties and investments in accordance with the Governing Schemes to provide grants for the benefit of the inhabitants of Edenbridge. 

At the year end the trust had not made any commitments to pay grants. 

The income decreased from the previous year to £150,886 and expenditure decreased to £147,788. This included an increase in grants made to £106,551 from £103,553. In particular the cost of insurance reduced by £13,387. The grants are made to 40 organisations in and around Edenbridge whose activities cover a wide range of religious, educational, social, medical, sporting and other community support activities. No large grants were made so that the spread of activities supported could be maintained.There was one grant to an individual. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The Trust's investments are managed by their stockbrokers under delegated authority from the Trustees. The current policy, which is subject to ongoing review, is to maximise total returns within a medium to low risk profile and maintain a balance between equity and fixed interest investments. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees aim to maintain reserves at a minimum of £250,000 in the Trust's investment portfolio which can be readily realised as cash, when needed to cover a year of charitable expenditure. The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to grant applications and ensure that support and governance costs are covered. 

## **Financial review** 

The Trust made a profit of £3,599. The investments maintained their value over the year. The investments have been kept under review by the Investments Committee with regular meetings with the stockbrokers. 

The Trustees had £41,178 net current assets in hand at the year end for future use.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE GREAT STONE BRIDGE TRUST OF EDENBRIDGE** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Great Stone Bridge Trust of Edenbridge** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Great Stone Bridge Trust of Edenbridge (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the 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.

**THE GREAT STONE BRIDGE TRUST OF EDENBRIDGE** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments and investment properties which are included at market value. 

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the charitable activities of the Trust. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and any condition attaching to the grant is outside the control of the Trust. 

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of the grant payable. 

## **Investment property** 

Freehold property is stated at valuation. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a special purpose. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
