## **MARJORIE COOTE OLD PEOPLE'S CHARITY FUND**
## TRUSTEES' REPORT
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_
The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025. The year end date was changed to 31 March during the prior period. This means that the prior period is 361 days rather than a full year and so the figures are not entirely comparable with the current year.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charity Fund's 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 (published in October 2019).
## _**Structure, governance and management**_
## **a. Constitution**
The Charity Fund was established by a Trust Deed dated 29 September 1958 with gifts made by Marjorie Wike Coote. Mrs Coote, who died in 1981, was the daughter of James Neill, the founder of the Sheffield hand tool manufacturer, and an aunt of the late Sir Hugh Neill.
The Trustees who served during the year are: Lady Neill DL Mr N J A Hutton MBE Dr C J Lawrenson Mrs S D Neill Mrs P M Jewitt Mr J M G Neill FCA
## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
Trustees are appointed by existing Trustees with the appointment being confirmed in writing.
All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee was remunerated in the year.
## **c. Financial risk management**
The principal risks to which the charity is exposed are the security and performance of the investments and cash. The Trustees are satisfied that they have arrangements in place to mitigate those risks.
## _**Objectives and activities**_
## **a. Policies and objectives**
Marjorie Coote Old People’s Charity Fund is to be applied by the Trustees in such manner as they shall in their absolute discretion think fit for the benefit of old people of small means who were born in, or have resided for not less than 20 years in, the area of jurisdiction of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire, this being substantially the same as the County of South Yorkshire. Please note however that Doncaster lies outside the funding area. It is the policy of the Trustees to concentrate their support mainly on established charitable organisations which work actively for the benefit of old people in the area of jurisdiction.
The Trustees meet in September each year to consider appeals, which should be submitted by email during the month of July. Appeals received at other times of the year are deferred until the following September unless they require consideration for an urgent grant for a specific project.

## **MARJORIE COOTE OLD PEOPLE'S CHARITY FUND**
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_
## **Objectives and activities (continued)**
## **b. Public benefit**
The Trustees have complied with the duty In section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Details of the activities carried out to deliver a public benefit are set out in the achievements and performance section below.
## _**Achievements and performance**_
## **a. Main achievements of the charity**
During the year, the Trustees provided financial support totalling £171,000 (2024: £147,000) to 19 organisations (2024: 22). Details of support and the grants made are set out in the notes to the accounts.
## _**Financial review**_
## **a. Review of the period**
The attached accounts show the current state of the charity's finances.
Total income for the year was £165,299 (2024: £156,185).
Total expenditure for the year was £198,474 (2024: £176,998). Investment management costs were £15,853 (2024: £17,829). Grants to institutions were £171,000 (2024: £147,000). Support costs were £11,621 (2024: £12,169).
Net income for the year was £44,438 (2024: £18,989 net income) after taking into account the gains on investment assets of £77,613 (2024: £39,802 gain). There was a deficit on the unrestricted fund of £15,349 (2024: £6,601 deficit) and a surplus on the endowment fund of £59,787 (2024: £25,590 surplus).
Total funds carried forward at 31 March 2025 are £3,506,512 (2024: £3,462,074) of which endowment funds are £3,267,708 (2024: £3,207,921) and unrestricted funds are £238,804 (2024: £254,153).
The Trustees consider the overall finances of the charity to be sound.
## **b. Reserves policy**
At 31 March 2025 the charity had unrestricted reserves amounting to £238,804. The Trustees consider it to be prudent to hold reserves of this order partly so that the level of grants in the immediate future can be sustained in the event of any unforeseen fall in incoming resources and partly to enable the Trustees to make one or more particularly substantial grants without prejudicing the normal pattern of grant making.
## **c. Going concern**
There are no material uncertainties in relation to going concern. Further details about the adoption of the going concern basis are given in note 1.2 to the accounts.

## **MARJORIE COOTE OLD PEOPLE'S CHARITY FUND**
## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_
## **d. Investment policy**
The expendable endowment fund assets are held substantially in quoted securities covering a diversified range of assets including Fixed Interest, UK and Overseas Equities, Commercial Property and Alternative Investments.
The investment objective is to maximise the funds of the charity through a mixture of the above assets, achieving a level of income commensurate to the asset mix and capital growth ahead of inflation over time. This objective should be achieved undertaking only a moderate level of risk. Around 64% of the unrestricted income fund is currently held in quoted securities.
The balance of the expendable endowment fund and the unrestricted income fund is held in cash on deposit.
The Trustees' investments are managed by the investment advisors on a discretionary basis.
## **e. Asset cover for funds**
Note 11 sets out an analysis of the assets attributable to the various funds. These assets are sufficient to meet the charity's obligations on a fund by fund basis.
## **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 period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Trust deed. 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 31 MARCH 2025_
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Marjorie Coote Old People's Charity Fund ('the charity')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 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**
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.

## **MARJORIE COOTE OLD PEOPLE'S CHARITY FUND**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 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) (published in October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and 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) published 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.
Marjorie Coote Old People's Charity Fund meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
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 prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
## _**1.2 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 charity has sufficient reserves to enable it to continue for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the trustees believe it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.
## _**1.3 Income**_
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
## _**1.4 Expenditure**_
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis inclusive of any irrecoverable VAT.
Grants payable are charged in the period when the offer is conveyed to the recipient 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 period-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
AlI governance and secretarial costs are akin to support costs under the Charities SORP (FRS 102). All costs other than investment fees are therefore shown as support costs under charitable expenditure.

## **MARJORIE COOTE OLD PEOPLE'S CHARITY FUND**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**1.4 Expenditure (continued)**_
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.
## _**1.5 Taxation**_
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Sch. 6, para. 1 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charity for UK income tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Income Tax Act 2007, Part 10 s521 – s537 or s. 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## _**1.6 Investments**_
Investments are included at their market value on 31 March and the unrealised net gains or losses arising from the revaluation are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## _**1.7 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.
## _**1.8 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.
## _**1.9 Creditors and provisions**_
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## _**1.10 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.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
- _**1.11 Fund accounting**_
## **Expendable Endowment Fund**
This fund represents the value of the original gift to the charity in 1958, together with the net investment gains, realised and unrealised, since that time.
This comprises funds that may be held in perpetuity which the Trustees are able to use in accordance with the charitable objects detailed in the Trust Deed. Therefore the Trustees consider that the capital should be regarded as expendable endowment.
## **Unrestricted Income Fund**
These are the reserves which the Trustees are free to use in accordance with the charity's objectives.
