## **THE HIBBERT TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ 

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Trust'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 (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## 1. The Hibbert Trust 

The objects of the Trust are to apply the trust fund in such manner as the trustees think most conducive to:- 

- the spread of Christianity in its most simple and intelligible form; and 

- the unfettered exercise of private judgement in matters of religion. 

## 2. The Case Fund 

The objects of the Case Fund are the promotion of free thought and the search after truth, the promotion of unfettered learning and frank utterance on matters connected with religion or with the nature and development and highest culture of mankind. 

## 3. The Stephanie Saville Fund 

The objectives of the Stephanie Saville Fund encapsulate those of both the Hibbert Trust and the Case Fund. This allows the Trustees to allocate this fund to further either set of objectives and leads to this fund being classified as unrestricted. 

The Trustees may award grants or otherwise approve arrangements for purposes which are in accordance with these objects. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## _Significant activities and achievements against objectives_ 

The trust received funding from investment income, enabling it to support a variety of projects and individuals in furtherance of its objects. The investments are managed by the Investment Managers and operate the portfolios on a discretionary basis. Charitable activities (including grants pledged) during the year amounted to £23,122 (2023: £243,322), The 2023 balance includes the creation of the designated amount of £200,000. Grants of £19,500 were outstanding as at 31 March 2024 (2023: £42,000). 

The trust has spent considerable time reviewing the implications of the origins of its founding funds in a legacy from Robert Hibbert Junior, an owner of enslaved people of Jamaica. The need to redress the long-term and multiple effects of transatlantic slavery has influenced its grant-giving activities more generally. In 2023 the trust designated £200,000 for repair and reparations, arising from "The Legacy of Slavery". These funds are being held separately in a deposit account and any interest earned is being added to the balance of available funds, whilst one or more suitable recipients are identified. 

## **Financial review** 

## _Reserves policy_ 

It is the policy of the Charity to retain sufficient funds to meet future commitments. Grants are only paid from funds in hand. If insufficient suitable applications for grants are received, the surplus is invested for future income generation or retained for future grant making.

## **THE HIBBERT TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Hibbert Trust is constituted as an unincorporated Charity under a trust deed dated 19 July 1847. The Trustees administer two other funds within the Hibbert Trust. The Case Fund established by the will dated 23 August 1880 of George Case and the Stephanie Saville Fund established by her will dated 30 June 2018. These are held as separate funds within the Hibbert Trust. The Stephanie Saville Fund is classified as unrestricted. The Hibbert Trust Fund and Case Fund are both classified as restricted. 

The declaration of trust states that there shall be at least three trustees. Every future trustee shall be appointed by a resolution of the trustees passed at a special meeting, and the benefits of each selection are to be considered. The trustees are directed to revise and reconsider at least once in every quarter century any scheme they have adopted to carry the trust into effect. By his will George Case directed that the charitable fund established by the will be transferred to the trustees of the Hibbert Trust. 

The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Michael Barber (Resigned 26 April 2023) James Chiriyankandath Catrin Davies Dorothy Hewerdine Helen Mason Justin Meggitt (Resigned 15 November 2023) Derek McAuley Mark Pearce Melanie Prideaux Ann Sinclair (Resigned 13 February 2024) James Lister Croft (Appointed 26 June 2024) 

## **Public benefit** 

The charitable activities for the year are in accordance with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The charity continues to provide grants subject to satisfactory application for funding within its charitable aims and objectives as explained above. 

## **Trustees responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

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 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 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- 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 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 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.

## **THE HIBBERT TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HIBBERT TRUST** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Hibbert Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **THE HIBBERT TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Hibbert Trust is an unincorporated charity. It is registered in England and Wales with charity registered number 233121. The principal address of the Charity is Essex Hall, 1-6 Essex Street, Strand, London, WC2R 3HY. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Trust's governing document,  the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The Trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The Trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements 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 Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the Trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

## **THE HIBBERT TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.5 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 apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

## **1.6 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.7 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.8 Financial instruments** 

The Trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the Trust's balance sheet when the Trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.9 Taxation** 

The Charity does not trade for tax purposes and hence is not liable to Corporation Tax on its surplus. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the Trust’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

## **19 Related party transactions** 

**(Continued)** 

## **Transactions with related parties** 

None of the trustees were paid remuneration by the Charity during the year (2023: nil). 

For administrative purposes, all of the bank transactions of the John Gregson Trust are undertaken by the Hibbert Trust. This results in an amount due to or from the Hibbert Trust. That amount at the year end is £54,910 due from the Hibbert Trust (2023: £34,213). All of the trustees of the John Gregson Trust are also trustees of the Hibbert Trust and vice versa. 

Administrative costs of the Hibbert Trust are incurred in common with the John Gregson Trust. The Hibbert Trust charges an appropriate amount to the John Gregson Trust annually. The amount for the current year is £3,154 (2023: £2,797). 

During the year the 6 trustees (2023: 3) were reimbursed expenses of £2,302 (2023: £804) to cover travel costs to meetings and small items of expenditure made on behalf of the Hibbert Trust. These amounts are included in the accounts of the Hibbert Trust.
