Chair’s introduction

I am delighted to introduce the Annual Report of the Trustees for the financial year to 5 April 2024.

It is exciting to report that the Foundation has made donations this year of over £100 million, a record figure that takes the Foundation’s total donations to £1.5 billion since it was established by my grandfather in 1958.

While we are constantly scanning the horizon to ensure we can respond and adapt to changes in society’s needs, this year’s result has also caused us to reflect and consider the elements of our model and approach that have enabled us to grow our giving in the way we have. In fact, since we started 66 years ago, we have doubled our donations every five to six years, a growth trajectory we are proud of.

We are steadfastly here for the long-term and strongly hold the view that the model of direct business ownership that underpins our endowment is a force for good, though we appreciate there are other excellent models that are different to ours. The straightforward structure established by our grandfather was very deliberate in its intention to build for the long-term and it was created with a strong sense of personal responsibility and community, which we still value. We believe he would have been pleased with how his foresight has

developed since, though he was not a person known for handing out praise!

We respect the skill and hard work of the businesses that generate the Foundation’s income, in the same way we admire and respect the talented people across the country in the charitable sector. Our aim is to enable those with the best understanding of society’s needs to tell us their plans and objectives so that we can listen and work with them in a flexible way. We don’t believe in imposing our point of view on others but in being responsive to those with excellent ideas and plans. This deliberate and pragmatic strategy enables us to be agile and to ensure that our income is spent on good work and not on supporting a cumbersome infrastructure.

Our job as Trustees and stewards is to remain engaged and up to date, and to ensure the Foundation continues to support good work and people, recognises excellence and can meet the evolving needs of our society. I’d like to thank our knowledgeable and dedicated staff and especially Philippa Charles, who has stepped down as Director after 16 years during which time we have donated over £1 billion. We are also thankful for the thousands of charities we have the privilege to work with and we greatly appreciate what they do.

Sir Guy H Weston Chair of the Trustees

4 Report and accounts of the Trustees · 2024

Trustees’ report

Accounting policies

prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes 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 on 16 July 2014 (FRS102).

Structure, governance and management

Structure

The operation of the Foundation is governed by a Trust Deed dated 10 October 1958.

At 5 April 2024, the Foundation owned 79.2% of Wittington Investments Limited, a company registered in England. Wittington Investments is the ultimate holding company of Associated British Foods plc, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange; other subsidiaries include Fortnum and Mason plc and Heal’s plc. Under the terms of the Trust Deed, the investment in the Wittington Investments Limited group of companies forms the permanent capital endowment of the Foundation and the Trustees may not dispose of that investment except by a unanimous vote of all the Trustees.

Governance and management

In accordance with the Trust Deed, after the death of Mr W Garfield Weston and his wife, their descendants became Trustees. The number of Trustees is limited to ten but must be at least five. If the number of Trustees drops below five, new Trustees fall to be appointed from among the lineal descendants of W Garfield Weston.

Being family members, incoming Trustees are aware of the aims and objectives of the

Foundation and the manner in which the Trustees carry out their responsibilities. Nearly all of the Trustees are on the board of other charitable entities either in the UK, the United States or Canada. The Foundation is a member of the Foundations Forum and the Association of Charitable Foundations and the Trustees receive charity sector updates from both their Secretary, a practising lawyer with expertise in the charity sector, and from their auditors UHY Hacker Young LLP. This ensures that the Trustees are well placed to keep up to date with developments in charity practice and regulations.

The Trustees are directly responsible for the management of the Foundation and hold regular meetings in order to consider grant applications for £100,000 or more and to ratify smaller grants which have been awarded since their previous meeting. Additional meetings are scheduled as required to deal with any time-sensitive funding requests. The initial processing of grant applications is dealt with by an experienced team and every funding decision is made by at least one of the Trustees. The Trustees also actively participate in meetings with, and visits to, applicants. The Trustees hold an annual meeting in order to review and approve the Annual Report and Accounts and to carry out a formal annual review of performance against the Foundation’s aims, objectives and policies as well as the performance of its investments over the year.

Risk management and policies

policies, protection, systems and checks remain in place in order to mitigate exposure to major risks and to ensure that the Foundation operates in accordance with ethical and environmental guidelines and protections. The Director and Secretary regularly review the Foundation’s risk register; the risk register is reviewed with the Trustees at their Annual Meeting.

Garfeld Weston Foundation 5

The principal risks include: investment performance; breaches of IT security; breaches of financial controls; fraudulent applications; conflicts of interest; and reputational risks relating to the Foundation’s relationship with the underlying trading activities of companies held through Wittington Investments Limited. Key controls have been identified for each principal risk area as follows:

Investment performance: The Trustees regularly review the performance of the underlying assets and their shareholding in the Wittington Investments Limited group and receive reports directly from those who are managing the businesses. The nonWittington investments are also managed in accordance with an investment policy which seeks to achieve an appropriate balance of risk and return.

Breaches of IT security: The IT system and security measures, including authorised signatories, are regularly updated and reviewed and all grant applicants are screened by a skilled grants administration team.

Bank mandates specifying authorised signatories, segregation of duties and financial limits are regularly reviewed and maintained.

Fraudulent applications: Registered charity status, financial statements and bank statements are independently validated for all grants awarded prior to any transfer of funds.

The Trustees maintain a documented Conflict of Interest policy which encompasses both their grantmaking decisions and (where relevant) their roles as directors of Wittington group companies.

Reputation: Members of the Trustee board are directors of Wittington group companies, enabling them to be fully appraised of events which might give rise to reputational risk.

Ethical and environment: The Trustees have oversight of the ethical and environmental practices of the Wittington group companies as well as those of their independent investment managers. In relation to its staff secondees, the Foundation adheres to the policies of Wittington Investments Limited and Associated British Foods with respect to the Modern Slavery Act and corporate responsibility. For more details see - - www.wittington investments.co.uk/wp content/uploads/ ModernSlaveryHumanTraffcking Statement2023.pdf www.abf.co.uk/responsibility

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: Addressing disadvantages and ‘levelling the playing field’ for all has been a central theme of the Foundation for over six decades as the Foundation values diversity in its widest sense. The Foundation aims to be accessible, transparent and straightforward in its approach to grant-making and actively supports charities which in turn support diverse groups and communities, including those suffering discrimination in all its forms.

Safeguarding: The Trustees have a safeguarding policy which is aimed at protecting their own staff secondees as well as vulnerable beneficiaries. The Trustees also require grant applicants to confirm that they have appropriate safeguarding policies in place to protect their staff, volunteers and beneficiaries.

Income and grant-making aims and objectives

The Trust Deed contains broad charitable objects which allow the Trustees, at their discretion, to pay or apply the income and (subject to certain restrictions) the expendable capital of the Trust Fund to, or for, the benefit of any charitable bodies, trusts, associations, institutions or organisations.

Despite continuing challenges to the global economy, total income for the year rose to

6 Report and accounts of the Trustees · 2024

just over £110 million (2023: £90 million). The Trustees have once again been able to draw on this increase in income to make total grants of just under £101 million in support of 1,797 appeals (2023: £91 million in support of 2,147 appeals).

The total outstanding forward commitments at the end of the financial year were just over £63.1 million as compared with just over £52.5 million in 2023. Commitments consist of future payments of £26.8 million (2023: £18 million) due to charities under existing multi-year grant arrangements, and pledges of just under £36 million (2023: £20 million) that require charities to fulfil specific prerequisite obligations.

The Trustees have seen a reinstatement of capital projects following delays resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and were pleased to be able to make some substantial pledges including £10 million to the Eden Trust for its new project in Morecambe, £5 million to the British Library for its Leeds Library and £3 million to the Tate for Tate Liverpool. The Trustees were pleased to continue to support charities’ core costs which can be challenging for them to raise, and to support vital frontline charities that are supporting communities across the UK. See the Director’s Report and full list of grants made for more details.

Grant-making policy

The Foundation continues to only accept applications from UK registered charities. No applications from individuals are considered and the Trustees do not typically fund projects outside the UK, nor do they fund animal welfare charities, unless for the purpose of supporting a specific environmental project or where to do so assists with other charitable purposes, such as providing assistance for those with disabilities.

The Trustees’ aim is to keep the application process as simple and streamlined as possible. Step-by-step guidelines as to how to make a grant application (more than 98%

of which are now submitted online), together with helpful details of the criteria which are taken into consideration when assessing applications and the information which should be submitted with an application, are available on the Foundation’s website www.garfeldweston.org.

These guidelines are also published in Welsh (although applications from Welsh charities must still be made in English).

All applications are considered on an individual basis; the Trustees do not consider funding requests made within a minimum of 12 months of the outcome of a previous application but, in relation to funding for core and project costs, they will consider providing funds to be spread over a period of years. Whenever possible, visits and/or meetings are made by Trustees and/or the Director or one of the other members of the Foundation’s grants team in order to gain a better understanding of applicants’ requirements. Regular contact is maintained with recipients of grants for monitoring purposes, while also taking care to minimise the reporting burden on the recipient charities.

In order to provide further transparency in the grant-making process, the Foundation publishes its grants through 360Giving. It also commissions independent reviews of grant-giving initiatives in order to assess their effectiveness and to improve the experience for both successful and unsuccessful applicants. These findings are published and shared openly and made accessible on the website.

The Trustees have complied with section 2(1)(b) of the Charities Act 2011, having due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation’s aims and objectives, when setting the grant-making policy and in making awards.

Achievements and performance

Despite the current economic uncertainty, Wittington Investments Limited has managed to increase its dividend payments to the Foundation so that the Foundation has been able to provide funding of over £100 million across a broad range of charitable purposes at a time when the sector, and those whom it supports, continue to be in need.

Some of the valuable charities and projects which have been funded by the Foundation are described in more detail in the Director’s Report from page 12.

Investment performance

investment structure (represented by the Wittington group of companies) which was contributed by Garfield W Weston to the Foundation in 1958 remains a sustainable long-term model, particularly in terms of providing a regular and reliable income stream to enable the Foundation to fulfil its charitable purposes. The value of the group of companies (which is heavily influenced by the share price of Associated British Foods) continues to fluctuate in line with equity markets generally, but the Trustees remain confident that any such fluctuations will not have a lasting effect on the Foundation’s ability to provide support to grant applicants.

As at 5 April 2024 the Investec portfolio was valued at over £76.8 million (2023: £72.4 million). At 4.5% per annum, 5 year annualised returns net of fees was below the portfolio return target of RPI plus 4% (10%), but the Trustees recognise the challenges posed by this target in the current period of inflation.

Moreover, the portfolio outperformed the ARC (Asset Risk Consultants) Charity Steady Growth Index (the average volatility of which is similar to that of the portfolio) over the same period, with a 5 year annualised return of 4.5% per annum as compared with a return of 4.2% for the Index. The annual income distributions to the Foundation from

the Investec portfolio totalled £1.7 million (2023: £2.0 million).

The Oxford University Endowment Management (OUem) fund offers an alternative form of investment in a broad range of asset classes, focusing on real returns in excess of inflation and therefore fits well with the Trustees’ target return for investments. As at 5 April 2024 the Foundation’s investment in the fund was valued at £25.7 million (2023: £23.8 million). The five-year annualised return for the fund to 31 March 2024 was 7.3% per annum – also below the portfolio return target of RPI plus 4% (10%).

The value of the Foundation’s investment in the Savills’ Charities Property Fund was £5.65 million as at 5 April 2024 (2023: £5.99 million), with an income yield of 4%.

Further analysis of the investment assets can be found in Note 9 to the Financial Statements. A copy of Wittington Investments Limited’s accounts for the year to 16 September 2023 can be obtained from Companies House.

Financial review

In accordance with the required accounting policy, grants are recognised in the statement of financial activities when approved by the Trustees and communicated to the recipients, irrespective of the future period over which payments are to be made, and the obligations outstanding at the year end are recognised as creditors.

Costs

These continue to be very low in relation to the levels of income and donations made and are kept under review by the Director and Trustees to ensure they remain lean as a proportion of grant expenditure.

Reserves

The Trustees’ policy is to maintain reserves of approximately 50% of the Foundation’s annual income bearing in mind the general timing of income receipts, their general pattern of giving and the current economic

8 Report and accounts of the Trustees · 2024

climate. At £32.1 million (2023: £22.0 million) total income reserves at the end of the year represented 29% of the Foundation's income in the year – well below the Trustees' 50% policy – and this will be taken into account when assessing levels of grant-making for the following financial year.

Investment objectives

The Trustees’ investment objectives in relation to their non-Wittington group assets as set out in the policy statement are to preserve the ‘real’ (i.e. inflation-adjusted) value of its investments.

This involves adopting a relatively conservative investment strategy, investing in a balanced portfolio without geographical, currency or sector restriction, subject to the terms of a Charity Commission Order dated 19 September 2001. The primary benchmark for investment performance remains at RPI plus 4% over a rolling three year period, although comparison is also made on an annual basis with the ARC (Asset Risk Consultants) Charity Steady Growth Index for Investec and, in the case of OUem, the MSCI All Country World Index.

investment managers have suitable policies in place regarding their stock selection to ensure that this complies with the latest ESG practices and they continue to keep this under review. The Trustees’ principal investment, namely Associated British Foods plc, is a highly diversified global company with an extensive and practical approach to responsible business. The Trustees have a direct line of sight into this business, making the Foundation’s approach to responsible investment more transparent and with a higher degree of clarity than other models might afford.

Plans for future periods

significant impact on all areas of the sector, but with particular significance for charities which support the most vulnerable in our society as well as for those undertaking

capital projects. The Foundation will continue to do its best to react to the changing needs of the charitable sector and to provide support where it is most needed and can be utilised most effectively to make a difference.

The Trustees will continue to maintain their ability to respond promptly and effectively to the requests in support of a broad range of charitable causes, relying upon the consistent performance of the Foundation’s endowment and upon prudent management of its income reserves.

Trustees’ responsibilities for the financial statements

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual 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 and 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 the 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 in the Charities SORP

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

• state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

• going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation

9

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper records which disclose with reasonable accuracy 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 charity’s assets and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and breaches of law and regulations.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Director’s report

I am thrilled to say we have completed yet another record year, with over £100 million in donations to nearly 1,800 charities across the country; demonstrating both the extent of the need and the amount of great work taking place. It is truly exciting for us to break the £100 million milestone and to partner with so many charities, large and small, some of which we have known for a long time and others which are new relationships – both are equally welcome and valued.

This report pays tribute to the extraordinary and skilled work taking place by volunteers in charities across the country. The case studies on the following pages showcase volunteering as this year’s key theme. We have chosen to use these examples to highlight the role of the volunteer in this year’s report precisely because there are so many challenges in society currently and the news is often hard to hear; and yet we have much to be grateful for. We are therefore celebrating the dedication of volunteers who give so much to help others, and who typically report that doing so gives them enjoyment, fresh skills and a valuable sense of community and purpose.

In highlighting volunteers, it is also important to note the skill of employed staff who recruit, train, support and inspire others to give their time and talents for the benefit of others. We speak to, and meet with, volunteers doing important work every single day and it is abundantly clear that the giving of time and expertise is a wonderful part of our society, embedded into so much of our lives, but which is often less visible and under-recognised. From the person who helps us navigate the maze of hospital corridors while visiting a loved-one, the expert who passionately brings a museum or gallery visit to life, boards of Trustees navigating many challenges and those

supporting young people and the vulnerable, amongst many others; we are very fortunate that so many people give their time and skills with such commitment.

For us, there is no such thing as an ‘average’ grant, though we are often asked this question. This is because every grant reflects the scale and scope of each charity, or the focus of work it is applying for. Our Trustees look at every charitable organisation and application on its individual merits, and they take great care to be as generous as possible while being mindful that creating dependence is not healthy, and nor is it efficient or effective to duplicate work already taking place. This approach enables the Foundation to support organisations of all sizes in a flexible way and not to restrict applications only to those that meet limited criteria.

In marking a record year for donations, I also wish to say how grateful I am to the small but dedicated team at the Foundation who are so focused on supporting the charitable sector and ensuring the donations made by our Trustees are managed smoothly, and that clear, straightforward advice and support is offered to those who get in touch with us. In many ways, our objective as a team is clear and simple – to enable great charities to have a fair chance to apply for the funding the Foundation has available, and to support the Trustees in their decision making. Inevitably, there is much work behind this apparent simplicity but, nonetheless, keeping things simple is something we continually challenge ourselves to maintain and improve.

I conclude with thanks, not only to our experienced Trustees and knowledgeable team, but especially to our partner charities who remain focused and upbeat in the face of myriad challenges. It is their positive attitude, skill and dedication that inspires us every day.

Philippa Charles Director

12 Report and accounts of the Trustees · 2024

Whether it’s mentoring disadvantaged children, providing sanctuary for the homeless, fundraising for local welfare charities or visiting an isolated elderly person, volunteering has the power to transform the lives of individuals, of our communities and our society. Volunteering is the backbone of the charity sector; without people giving generously of their time, many of our country’s vital charities, and especially the smaller ones, would find it a challenge to maintain the breadth of their work.

Volunteering was at the forefront of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic, however this level of volunteering has not been maintained; many charities are currently struggling to recruit and retain volunteers. The 2023 Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise Sector Barometer[1] found that four in 10 charities cite that a lack of volunteers over the previous year had stopped them from meeting key objectives.

1 www.ntu.ac.uk/research/groups-and-centres/ projects/vcse-data-and-insights-nationalobservatory/vcse-barometer-survey

In addition to decreased levels of volunteering, the voluntary sector is struggling with reduced income and an increase in demand for services. Yet research shows that the more than 14 million people in the UK who are volunteering experience a significant range of positive impacts from improved mental and physical health, reduced isolation, and improved employability.

We recognise on a daily basis the enormous value that volunteering has for our charity partners and their beneficiaries. We hope you enjoy reading about the different ways a small selection of our charity partners work with volunteers to deliver their vital work and to transform the lives of other people.

Outcomes

The grant from Garfield Weston Foundation has enabled us to expand into 10 prisons, recruiting and training more local volunteers than ever before. We’ve found new volunteer letter writers and have introduced more Liberty Choir graduates to our community choirs. We know that the more former inmates can associate with noncriminals, the less likely they are to re-offend. This contributes directly to making society safer for everyone.

MJ Paranzino, Music Programme Director and Co-Founder

volunteers from local choirs who sing with over 1,000 prisoners each year are at the heart of this process.

How do volunteers help?

Many of the prisoners the charity work with are estranged from their family and friends and volunteers not only sing with inmates, but help them to read lyrics, listen to them, provide comfort and vital moments of humanity. Upon release from prison, many ex-prisoners join their local community choirs to access a familiar supportive group and by returning to prison as volunteer singers, they have successfully transformed their lives and are powerful role models to others.

• Liberty Choir’s model is proven to work, with less than 3% of Liberty Choir graduates re-offending upon release (compared to the national average of around 25%). Without the dedication and compassion of Liberty Choir volunteers, this simply would not be possible.

Hope Into Action

www.hopeintoaction.org.uk/

Hope Into Action (HIA) provides more than just a house. It provides homes, support and stability for hundreds of vulnerable and disadvantaged people across the UK. In 2010, the charity’s founder used his own money to buy one house in Peterborough for people who were homeless. Since then, the charity has grown to a network of over 115 houses in over 35 towns and cities across the UK, all partnered with a local church.

HIA has a simple and scalable model; it works alongside individuals to invest their finances to buy a property, which is then leased to the charity. HIA houses people affected by homelessness and provides professional support to tenants through its empowerment workers, which is all supported by partner churches and volunteer Friendship and Support (F&S) groups.

By devoting their time, the volunteers make a positive impact on the tenants’ lives through listening, caring and accepting tenants for who they are and where they have come from, all without judgement. Together with its church partners and volunteers, HIA provides loving homes for over 400 tenants every night; those who have been rough sleeping, sofa surfers, fleeing domestic violence, victims of trafficking, ex-prisoners, refugees and those seeking to overcome addiction.

Outcomes

• Last year, 93% of tenants retained their tenancy and 92% of ex-offender tenants did not reoffend.

• To date, the charity has worked mainly in the South and Midlands and has ambitions to extend into the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Volunteering is central to the Home-Start model. Home-Start Exeter, East & Mid-Devon say that volunteers are the backbone of their service. Across the UK, via 180 local, independent Home-Starts, thousands of trained home-visiting volunteers support over 43,600 families. Volunteers are usually parents themselves and bring with them personal experience, parenting skills, and knowledge of the resources available within their local area. They are friendly and approachable and can be relied on and trusted by parents to listen without being judgemental, and to respect the needs of each individual family.

Bookmark Reading

www.bookmarkreading.org/

Bookmark Reading was established in 2018, with the mission to give children in school years 1-5 the reading skills and confidence they need for a fair chance in life. Currently, at least one in four children are leaving primary school unable to read well, something that disproportionately impacts children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Only 10% of these children go on to pass English and Maths GCSE, which can have significant impact on their life chances; people with poor literacy skills are more likely to be unemployed, have low incomes, poor health and lower life expectancy[1] .

Bookmark Reading’s approach is based in research that shows that reading for pleasure helps to tackle this literacy gap and helps children to make progress at school not just in reading, but across the curriculum.

LitterHeroes inspires and empowers thousands of volunteers to remove litter from their local environment and to become environmental changemakers in their communities. The charity is committed to expanding this groundswell movement of local environmental volunteers and encourages us all to take part in improving the environment on our own doorsteps.

Volunteers are a crucial part of Bookmark Reading’s model. The charity carefully recruits and trains volunteers before matching them to a child who needs additional support with their reading. Together, they complete a reading programme over six weeks, helping the child to enjoy reading and become a better, more confident reader. The charity’s model focuses on online engagement which enables volunteers to give their time during their busy work days. They also donate their time to work with several of the charity’s partner schools to create inspiring reading spaces and libraries so that children have

Outcomes

Garfield Weston Foundation’s support means that Bookmark has been able to expand our services to support more children who are at risk of falling behind in their reading. With the funding, we have been able to scale to recruit more volunteers with children who need extra reading support, and we are on track to deliver the most reading sessions ever this year. We are so grateful that Garfield Weston share our vision that every child should have the opportunity to be a reader.

Bookmark Reading is keen to address the sector-wide challenge of a shortage of volunteers, is conducting a review of its volunteer attraction, recruitment and onboarding processes and is trialling new initiatives to give greater flexibility to corporate volunteers and to attract sixth form students as volunteer readers.

• Last year, the charity’s volunteers delivered more than 20,000 hours of oneto-one reading support to children nationwide.

• Volunteers helped to deliver Bookmark Reading’s free Story Corner magazine, designed for the one in five children aged 5–10 who do not have a book of their own at home, and packed 1,500 Story Starter bags ready for children starting school in September last year.

Circles South East

circlessoutheast.org.uk/

Established in 2002, Circles South East deliver a highly successful programme that reduces reoffending by creating supportive circles to help people who have committed sexual offences to safely reintegrate back into the community. The charity provides a range of interventions to support both survivors and perpetrators in their recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration, recognising that each person has a unique set of personal circumstances that need a tailored response to be successful.

How do volunteers help?

Volunteers are key to Circles South East’s successful approach. Its volunteers come from all walks of life but share a common passion to end sexual harm and sexual violence, and a belief that, to do so, solutions must go beyond the initial removal from society and the shaming of perpetrators. Its volunteers receive comprehensive vetting and training before engaging with service users and are provided with supervision, support and ongoing training. The volunteers report that participating in the successful rehabilitation and reintegration of an individual who poses a risk back into the community is an incredibly rewarding process, but the impact

of volunteering with the charity goes further. They frequently follow a path from volunteering to careers in criminal justice and say that their time with Circles helped them find employment.

• greatly from the input of volunteers, and frequently report how grateful they are that volunteers share their time with

them. The impact of representatives of the local community being willing to listen is the vital ingredient behind why the charity’s approach is so effective.

• Over the last 12 months, 240 service users were able to access support services, of whom 115 received specialist support and intervention from the Community Hub, receiving counselling and participating in protective adult groupwork programmes.

Our primary purpose is to provide a comprehensive package of support to all whose lives have been impacted by sexual harm and sexual violence. We support people affected by sexual abuse in their recovery and work to reduce the instances of sexual abuse. Through the continued support from Garfield Weston Foundation, we currently have over 500 community volunteers providing support across the region; volunteers continue to be at the heart of everything that we do. Their enthusiasm and dedication are crucial to the success of the charity.

Opinion

year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cashflow Statement 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 FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

• 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) (ISA (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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

concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statement is appropriate.

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 annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the financial statements. 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.

22 Report and accounts of the Trustees · 2024

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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us

• 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 set out on page 9, 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.

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.

We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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.

Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.

23

on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

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

that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the acts by the charity, which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations including fraud, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011.

statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risk related to the valuation of the unquoted investment in Wittington Investments Limited (‘Wittington’) of which the Foundation owns 683,073 50p ordinary shares (79.2%).

there is no readily identifiable market price for its shares. Accordingly, the value of the Foundation’s investment has been assessed by the Trustees on the basis of the share of the value of the underling net assets of Wittington attributable to the Foundation’s holding as at 5 April 2024. As Whittington’s financial statements are audited as at 16 September 2023, there is a varying degree of estimation required to assess the net asset value as at 5 April 2024 and therefore there is more potential for misstatement in this area.

We assessed Management’s valuation methodology and considered whether it was in accordance with the accounting policies of the Foundation, applicable accounting standards and industry practice. Wittington’s principal asset is a majority holding (56.2%) in Associated British Foods plc. Therefore, the value of the Foundation’s investment in Wittington is driven predominantly by the Associated British Foods plc share price as at 5 April 2024. As the shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange, the value of this holding can be determined easily.

underlying supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations, review of minutes of meetings held by those charged with governance, enquiries of management and testing of journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the Trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

1 Accounting policies

standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland’ (“FRS 102”). In particular, they comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities (the “SORP”).

from the Charities (Accounts and Report) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except that certain financial instruments are stated at fair value.

Foundation. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to £’000s.

The particular accounting policies adopted by the Trustees are described below:

a Going concern

After making enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Foundation 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 consolidated financial statements.

applied reverse stress tests, the possibility that the financial headroom could be exhausted is considered to be extremely remote. The Trustees understand the risks, sensitivities and judgements included in the cash flow forecast and have a high degree of confidence in these cash flows. There is substantial financial headroom between this cash flow forecast and the cash on hand and funding available to the Foundation over the period.

b Incoming resources

bank deposits is included on an accruals basis. All incoming resources are recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

c Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

29

Grants awarded are charged in the year when formally awarded by the Trustees and communicated to the recipient irrespective of the period covered by the donation as they are regarded by the Trustees as financial obligations.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended, for which it was incurred.

d Allocation of overhead and support costs

Overhead and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on the value of individual grant awards made as it is considered that more is spent awarding, monitoring and assessing grants of greater value. The allocation of overhead and support costs is analysed in note 5.

e Costs of generating funds

The costs of generating funds consist of investment management fees and commissions.

f Charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities include grants made and an apportionment of overhead and support costs as shown in notes 3 and 4.

g Governance costs

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

h Interest in Wittington Investments Limited

At 5 April 2024 the Foundation owned 79.2% (2023: 79.2%) of Wittington Investments Limited (‘Wittington’), a company registered in England. Wittington is the ultimate holding company of Associated British Foods plc (‘ABF’), and a wide range of investments including Fortnum & Mason plc and Heal’s plc, one hotel, a real estate portfolio and significant financial investments. ABF is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Foundation receives its income from Wittington Investments Limited by way of dividends and records its investment in that company at the Trustees’ valuation.

As the activities of Wittington and its subsidiaries are fundamentally different from the activities of the Foundation, consolidated accounts have not been prepared as the Trustees are of the opinion that the adopted policy gives a true and fair view of the Foundation’s assets and sources of income. Details of the consolidated accounts of Wittington are shown in note 9 to these accounts. The Trustees have agreed this policy with the Charity Commission.

i Investments

Non-current and current investments are stated at market value as at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. Certain bonds are classified as current investments as they are expected to be realised within 12 months of the reporting date.

30 Report and accounts of the Trustees · 2024

• j Realised gains and losses

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening market value. Realised and unrealised gains are not separated in the Statement of financial activities.

k Fund accounting

Details of the nature and purpose of each fund are set out in note 12.

l Financial instruments

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value.

4 Analysis of charitable expenditure

The Charity undertook no direct charitable activities but awarded grants to a number of institutions in furtherance of its charitable activities. As a consequence of supporting charitable organisations, the Foundation achieves public benefit. The Foundation’s grant policy is to accept only appeals from UK registered charities. Registration provides an element of assurance of public benefit, although for charities registered before the implementation of the Charities Act 2006 the public benefit was a presumption.

Unlisted investments

The unlisted investments comprise 683,073 50p ordinary shares (79.2%) of Wittington Investments Limited, an unquoted company, see note 1 (h).

The business of Wittington is the management of investments in a wide range of assets. As it is an unquoted company there is no readily identifiable market price for its shares. Accordingly, the value of the Foundation’s investments has been assessed by the Trustees on the basis of the share of the value of the underlying net assets of Wittington attributable to the Foundation’s holding.

At 5 April 2024, Wittington’s principal asset is a holding of 56.2% (2023: 56.1%) of the issued ordinary capital of ABF which is listed on The London Stock Exchange. In assessing the value of the underlying net assets of Wittington, the value of its investment in ABF has been based on the closing price as at 5 April 2024.

In addition, Wittington holds a wide range of other assets managed in four different business segments:

• Luxury Retail: comprising the 100% ownership of Fortnum & Mason and Heal’s, two long established retailers.

• Real Estate: distribution sectors across the UK. Wittington also takes strategic positions in selective development opportunities, alongside local partners or sector specialists. The portfolio is held at cost less provision for impairment within the financial statements. The third-party valuations prepared at 16 September 2023 were considerably higher than this carrying value when considering the portfolio in total. The Trustees do not expect material movement in the market value of the properties compared to the valuation as at 16 September 2023.

• Hotel: as an extension of its Real Estate strategy, Wittington owns the Richmond Hill Hotel.

• Private Markets & Other Investments: Wittington invests both directly and via externally managed funds in private equity, private debt and fixed income markets. Other investments are principally composed of liquid investments in short-dated investment grade bonds and listed equities.

the investment in ABF, Wittington’s remaining investments have been valued using net asset values in the 31 March 2024 management accounts, which are considered to be their fair values. At 5 April 2024, the fair value of Wittington including ABF is considered to be £12.6 billion and the Foundation’s share of this (79.2%) is £9.98 billion.

The Trustees have no current intention of disposing of the interest in Wittington.
