## **THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

The Trustees present their report along with the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s Trust Deed, the Charities Act 2011, and the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2019).  Our accounting policies are set out on pages 19-21 of this report. 

The report describes the Trust’s governance and management structure, its grant programmes and main activities during 2020. Many of the organisations that the Trust supports have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and consequently the Trust made a number of changes to its grant programmes during 2020 to provide additional support for hospices and small charities, and to respond to the pressures on researchers working in universities and the NHS. 

At the time of writing, it is unclear how long Covid related restrictions will remain in place or how the pandemic may affect the future external environment in which the Trust operates. In accordance with guidance from the Charities SORP Committee, relevant sections of the report comment on the potential implications for the Trust and its planned activities for 2021. The Trustees will continue to keep the position under review and ensure that the Trust’s activities continue to support its charitable objectives and remain sustainable for the long-term. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust is constituted under a Trust Deed dated 18[th] February 1964 and is a registered charity, number 233838. It was established with an endowment from Sir Jules Thorn. The Trust does not fundraise and seeks to continue the charitable work inspired by Sir Jules through the careful stewardship of its existing resources. The charity has no fundraising activities requiring disclosure under S162A of the Charities Act 2011. 

The Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees who oversee the Trust’s governance, set the strategic direction and review the progress of its implementation. The Trustees normally hold two meetings each year, but, given the impact of the pandemic, met via online conferencing in May, September and November 2020. In addition, the Trustees have received regular updates on the impact of COVID-19 on the Trust’s activities and have been able to deal with all business through correspondence and remote working. 

The Board’s Investments Sub-Committee meets with the investment managers at least annually to discuss in detail the performance of the Trust’s investments. The Sub-Committee also meets annually with the Trust’s external auditor to review the auditor’s report, and management responses to any recommendations. The Sub-Committee makes a report to the Board following its meetings.  During 2020 the Investments Sub-Committee held additional meetings to conduct a review of the Trust’s investment strategy.  The outcome of that review is reported on page 10. 

The Board is also supported by the Trust’s Medical Advisory Committee of leading clinicians and researchers, which oversees the peer review of research grant applications and makes recommendations to the Board on funding.  The Committee held two meetings in 2020 reflecting the disruption that the pandemic caused to the normal pattern of the Trust’s research awards.  The Committee has also met three times between February and May 2021 as the competitions for research awards were restarted.  The Trustees wish to express their thanks to the Chair and members of the Committee for their continued support and advice during a period of unprecedented pressure on clinicians and research teams across the UK. 

Following the introduction of COVID-19 restrictions, the Investment Sub-Committee and MAC have, like the Board, been able to deal with all essential business through correspondence and online conferencing.

**THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

The Board undertook a review of the Trust’s governance arrangements in 2019, in order to ensure continued compliance with the Charity Governance Code and relevant good practice. An updated version of the Code was published in December 2020 and the Board will consider any impact on the Trust in 2021 as part of their annual review of the Board’s effectiveness. 

While the Trust Deed does not provide for a minimum or maximum number of Trustees, the Board’s Terms of Reference state that, unless the circumstances are exceptional, there will not be less than seven and no more than ten Trustees. The composition of the Board is kept under regular review to ensure its members continue to provide the range of skills required to support the Trust’s strategy. The Board has considered guidance published in the Code regarding the period for which individuals should normally serve on boards as Trustees and agreed that in future new Trustees should normally be appointed for a term of 5 years, which may be renewable with the agreement of the Board. The Board concluded that it was not appropriate to set an upper limit on the period for which Trustees could serve. This decision reflects the length of the funding cycle for several of the Trust’s programmes and the period needed for funded research to come to fruition. 

When Trustee vacancies arise, individuals are identified who provide the required skills and the broader requirements set out in the Trustee Role Description agreed by the Board. Potential candidates are invited to a selection interview, which may lead to an appointment to the Board. New Trustees are given a detailed briefing about the Trust and all aspects of their responsibilities, including governance.  Where appropriate, induction training with the Trust’s professional advisors is offered. All Trustees are unpaid. 

The Trust has a Conflicts of Interest Policy, which sets out the principles which are applied to identify transactions and decisions in which individuals may have a personal interest, and the process for managing potential conflicts. The Policy was updated in 2019 as part of the governance review noted above, and applies to all Trustees, Trust staff and members of the Medical Advisory Committee. 

The Trust operates with a small team of four staff, including the Director, who provides the key management role within the definition of FRS 102. The Director is accountable to the Trustees for the implementation of the strategic plan, and for the day-to-day management of the Trust. 

The Trustees acknowledge the importance of its staff in ensuring both the ongoing strategic development and efficient administration of the charity. The overall aim of the Trust’s policy is to offer fair pay to attract and retain appropriately qualified staff to lead, manage and administer the charity and to fulfil the charitable objects on behalf of the Trustees. The Trustees review the remuneration of the Director and other staff on an annual basis. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees are responsible for monitoring the risks facing the Trust and ensuring that adequate steps are taken to manage them. The Trust has a formal risk register which is reviewed periodically by the Board, and risk is inherent to the Board’s discussions on all aspects of the Trust’s work. In addition, the Investment Sub-Committee reviews risks specifically related to investments and considers any recommendations from the Trust’s auditors regarding further improvements to the Trust’s system of internal controls. 

The principal risks facing the Trust are: 

- _**Financial**_ – where inappropriate asset allocation or adverse market conditions could potentially undermine the financial sustainability of the Trust or mean that total returns from the Trust’s investments were not sufficient to meet its normal level of grant commitments. 

   - This risk was addressed by the Trustees’ review of the Trust’s investment strategy during 2020 and is managed through the ongoing monitoring of investment performance by the Investments Sub-Committee.

## **THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

- _**Strategic**_ - where the Trust’s grant making strategy has to keep pace with developments in research, clinical practice and relevant sectors of care. 

   - The Trustees’ will formally review the strategy later in 2021, and whenever making significant awards considers advice from the Medical Advisory Committee and external experts contributing to the peer review of research proposals. 

- _**Operational**_ – where processing failures, fraud, or major incidents, would impede the charity’s ability to function effectively, and thus to deliver its charitable objectives. 

   - Internal controls are kept under review. Previous investment in on-line systems and cloud-based storage have enabled the Trust’s operations to continue remotely since March 2020 without disruption or adverse impact on controls. 

- _**Compliance**_ – where a failure to comply with charity law, the general law, and the founding Trust Deed, would compromise the charity’s status and reputation. 

   - The Trustees reviewed governance arrangements in 2019 and will conduct a further review later in 2021 to ensure continued compliance. 

## _**Additional Risk Posed by Covid-19 Pandemic**_ 

In common with other organisations, the pandemic has tested the Trust’s risk management arrangements. The Trust has not faced the same challenges as charities which are dependent on fundraising or those delivering frontline services. The pandemic and resulting restrictions have, at the time of writing, confirmed the Trustees’ previous assessment of the principal risks facing the Trust and the mitigations in place to address them. 

The pandemic adversely affected global stock markets with effect from 21[st] February, 2020, but markets recovered well in the final quarter of 2020.  As at 31st December, 2020 the Trust’s investment portfolio was valued at £136,873,808 ( _2019 - £131,917,927_ ) an increase of 3.7%.  The Trust retains strong cash balances which are sufficient to meet planned commitments beyond the end of 2020, and the investment review completed during 2020 should ensure that its investments remain positioned to support the long-term sustainability of the Trust. The Trustees are therefore confident that sufficient funding is available for new awards over the year ahead. Further information is provided in the Investments Notes to the Accounts on page 24. 

The Trustees received regular reports regarding finance market fluctuations and considered available information regarding the ongoing impact of the pandemic on the universities, NHS organisations and charities that the Trust supports.  The Trust remains committed to all its core grant programmes and has worked with existing major grant holders to assess the impact of the outbreak on the timetable for delivery of their projects. In a number of cases the Trust has agreed extensions to awards or revised reporting schedules. 

The Trust made revisions to a number of award programmes during 2020 in response to the enormous pressure on the clinical staff involved in its research programmes, and to provide additional support for hospices and smaller charities providing front-line services through the pandemic. Information about these changes is set out on pages 5-7. 

Overall, the Trustees are satisfied that all risks are being managed effectively and that measures are in place to ensure good governance, prevent financial or administrative fraud or malpractice, protect the good reputation of the Trust and ensure compliance with relevant legislation and guidance.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

## **Objectives, Activities and Public Benefit** 

## **Objectives** 

The Trust Deed gives the Trustees absolute discretion to apply the capital and income of the Trust for charitable purposes generally but, in doing so, they take note of the Founder’s wishes. In keeping with Sir Jules’s original intentions, the Trust’s largest grants support translational medical research undertaken in the UK’s leading medical schools and NHS organisations. In the broader humanitarian field, the Trust’s grant programmes are intended to make life easier for those who live with disabilities, who suffer disadvantage or need support in dealing with difficulties in their lives. Grants are restricted to beneficiaries within the United Kingdom. 

In discharging their responsibilities, the Trustees confirm that they have due regard to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Activities** 

In pursuit of its objectives, the Trust delivers public benefit by providing awards to universities, NHS organisations and other registered charities. Awards are normally made through five competitive grant programmes; the details of which are available on our website. Additionally, the Trust launched a new one-off programme to support translational research.  This scheme was launched in December 2020 and the award will be made in 2021. 

Alongside revisions to its own grant programmes, the Trust also made a donation of £100,000 in April 2020 to Age UK’s Coronavirus Emergency Appeal. The Trust has supported local Age UK charities over many years through its Ann Rylands Small Donations programme and - having considered a number of pandemic emergency funds launched in the first quarter of the year - the Trustees agreed that making a donation to Age UK’s Coronavirus appeal was the most appropriate way for the Trust to support the immediate response to the pandemic. 

The Trust does not advertise its programmes but information is available to charities through fundraising databases, and our longstanding support for medical research and other core areas means that the Trust receives significantly more applications than it is able to fund in any one year. 

The Trust’s grant programmes are outlined briefly below. 

## _**The Sir Jules Thorn Award for Biomedical Research**_ 

The Sir Jules Thorn Award supports the work of outstanding investigators who are in the early stages of a clinical research career. It offers a grant of up to £1.7million over 5 years. Since the inception of the Award in 2001, the Trust has pledged more than £21m to fund the highest quality translational research which seeks to bring benefit to patients through improved diagnostics and/or the development of new therapies for important clinical problems. Research can be in any field of clinical research, and in recent years we have funded major research projects in areas as diverse as bariatric surgery, the genetic causes of cerebral palsy, and enhancing the effectiveness of corrective surgery for patients suffering from aortic stenosis **.** 

The Award is normally made following an annual competition among UK medical schools and NHS organisations. Applications are subjected to rigorous peer review by the Medical Advisory Committee and external experts in the relevant clinical field. The Trust’s peer review process is accredited by the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC). 

The terms of the award stipulate that intellectual property rights created as a result of Trust-funded research should be protected and exploited, where commercially worthwhile. An Intellectual Property Agreement with each institution defines issues of protection and exploitation, and the arrangements for sharing any commercial income which is generated. The Trust’s share of any such income would be allocated to the Trust’s charitable purposes.

**THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

The 2020 competition was suspended in April in response to the unprecedented pressure on clinical staff involved as both applicants and reviewers. This decision was taken on the advice of the Medical Advisory Committee and was welcomed by applicants. The competition was re-started in June 2020, with previously long-listed applications carried forward to the next stage of the process. The Trust expects to make the Award in June 2021. 

## _**Translational Biomedical Research Award**_ 

The pandemic disrupted research across universities and the NHS throughout 2020, with non-Covid research suspended or severely restricted for much of the year. In order to support research as investigators resumed their work, the Trust launched a new one-off programme in December 2020; offering an award of up to £1m to support a single research project, in any discipline or disease area, which is at an advanced stage of translation and able to demonstrate a clear pathway to develop research findings into benefit for patients. 

The scope of this award is deliberately broad and is intended to support outstanding research where the investigator’s team has already generated data or samples to proceed to the next stage of their work but requires funding to translate the research into clinical outcomes. This might include, for example, teams who have gathered Covid-related data and require the funding for analysis. Alternatively, teams working in other fields may have data from previous studies but have been unable to progress their work during the pandemic and now find other charitable funding is unavailable. 

Following the launch of the programme at the end of 2020, initial applications were received from 12 leading medical schools in February 2021 and 5 were invited to submit full applications.  The Trust expects to make an award in November 2021. 

## _**The Sir Jules Thorn PhD Scholarship Programme**_ 

The Trust’s PhD scheme normally offers two new scholarships each year for outstanding candidates to undertake a challenging four-year research project, leading to the submission of a PhD thesis. Over the past 12 years the Trust has committed over £2m to this scheme and 25 PhD students have benefited from scholarships. 

Applications are invited from universities or research institutes which have doctoral training programmes recognised by the Medical Research Council or the Wellcome Trust. Targeting the scheme in this way ensures that Trust-funded students are embedded in institutions offering the highest quality doctoral training and research. 

As for the Sir Jules Thorn Award, the competition for the PhD programme was suspended in April 2020 due to the pressure on the institutions invited to apply and uncertainty over student recruitment for the 2020/21 academic year. Applications were rolled forward, and the Trust awarded scholarships to the Universities of Edinburgh and Sheffield in April 2021. 

## _**Medically Related Donations**_ 

The Trust receives many appeals from universities, hospitals and other charitable organisations to assist with capital projects which have the potential to accelerate medical research or to support innovation in the care and treatment of people suffering from severe clinical conditions. The programme provides capital funding to support either infrastructure for medical research, or projects to develop new care models for people living with severe disabilities. The scheme operates competitively, with a two-stage application process of outline proposals followed by detailed applications from short-listed organisations. Short-listed applications for research infrastructure are subject to external peer review. Where appropriate for care projects, the Chairman and Director undertake site visits as part of the assessment process.  These were conducted virtually in 2020. 

The Trust may be the sole funder of projects, or one of a number of contributors. Its support will be pledged until such time as the viability of the project is assured.

## **THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

## _**Hospice Fund**_ 

The Hospice Fund was introduced in 2018 in response to the large number of funding requests previously received from hospices under the Ann Rylands Small Donations programme.  A specific fund was therefore created to support the sector, and in its first two years offered grants of up to £5,000 for core funding, and up to £10,000 for small capital projects. 

The pandemic imposed extraordinary pressure on the sector throughout 2020 with many hospices offering stepdown care or other services to support the NHS; whilst lockdown restrictions led to substantial losses in hospices’ fundraising income. These pressures are reflected in the substantial growth in applications to the programme, shown on page 8. In order to support the sector, the Trustees increased the budget for the Hospice Fund from £200K in 2019 to £500K in 2020 and agreed to focus the available funding on awards for core costs.  All proposals are assessed on a competitive basis. 

## _**The Ann Rylands Small Donations Programme**_ 

The programme is named in honour of a former Chairman of the Trust (and daughter of Sir Jules) and awards grants of up to £1,500 to support small charities (which for the purposes of the programme are defined as those with an income below £5m). Charities can apply for grants towards their core costs, which charities often find more difficult to raise, or to support a specific project. The funding criteria are deliberately broad but the Trust prioritises applications from charities which offer practical support for older people, people with disabilities or living with severe illness, or people facing challenges with mental health, social exclusion, homelessness or other difficulties in their lives. Although the level of individual awards is modest, the cumulative support that the Trust provides for smaller charities is significant and feedback from recipients indicates that the programme is valued and continues to meet a need. 

The Trust receives many requests each year but experienced a 50% increase in applications during 2020; reflecting both the increasing demands on charities during the pandemic and the impact of Covid-related restrictions on their fundraising income. As with the Hospice Fund, the Trustees increased funding for this programme. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

During 2020 the Trustees awarded 472 grants totalling £2,016,480, including future year commitments. This was lower than the £3,494,097 awarded in 2019, which is entirely due to the suspension of the competitions for the Sir Jules Thorn Award and PhD programmes. As noted earlier, shortlisted applications for those programmes were carried forward and the Trust expects to make the awards (budgeted at £1.9m) in 2021. The new Translational Biomedical Award was launched in December 2020 to support research further, and the Trust expects to make an award of up to £1m in 2021. 

The number of applications to the Trust’s other grant programmes increased by 53% in 2020 (920 applications against 600 in 2019); reflecting the pressures on hospices and small charities. The number of awards under the Hospice and Ann Rylands programmes increased by 34% (to 467 from 348 in 2019). 

A full list of grants can be found on pages 29-41 of this report, and highlights are summarised in the following table.

## **THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

## **Plans for the Future** 

The Trustees expect that the Trust’s activities and the focus of its grant programmes will continue broadly as outlined above. The pandemic may nevertheless have lasting implications for the universities, NHS organisations and charities that the Trust supports. As noted in their 2019 report, the Trustees were due to review the Trust’s strategy in May 2020.  The review was deferred until 2021 to enable the Trustees to assess any lessons learned from responses to the pandemic and to ensure that the grant programmes remain aligned with developments in the research and humanitarian sectors. 

In the short-term, the Trust will look to complete the competitions for its major research awards and the PhD programme which were carried forward from 2020. The Trust will continue to support hospices and small charities through its other programmes, and the Trustees have again allocated additional funding to the Hospice and Ann Rylands Small Donations programmes for 2021. 

The Trustees consider that the Trust has very adequate funds to meet its current obligations and to finance its planned activities. As noted earlier, a review of the Trust’s investment strategy was completed during 2020 and this provided further assurance regarding the Trust’s long-term sustainability. 

## **Financial Review** 

The endowment provided by Sir Jules Thorn remains the source of funding for the Trust’s grant-making activities and its day to day operations. 

As explained below, the Trust operates a total return approach which enables a prudent amount of investment gains made in previous years to be used to augment distributions. The Trust is therefore not solely reliant on the level of its investment income in determining how much it is able to distribute in any one year. 

Income of £972,318 was received during the year from the investment portfolios managed by Cazenove Capital Management and Ruffer. The Trust’s funds managed by Ninety One Asset Management were held in Accumulation Units in their Diversified Growth Fund which does not make income distributions.  Total expenditure commitments of £2,815,765, which included net grants of £1,915,034 and Investment Managers’ Costs of £489,073, resulted in a deficit of £1,843,448 which was augmented by net Investment gains of £8,440,877, from all three investment funds, making an overall surplus for the year of £6,597,429 ( _2019 Surplus_ £9,358,704). This increased total funds held as at 31[st] December 2020 to £128,463,041 ( _2019_ £121,865,612). Details of transfers between general and endowment funds are detailed below. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Under the terms of the Trust Deed the Endowment Fund is expendable at the Trustees' discretion and provides the resources to finance the Trust's activities, including its administration. It is the Trustees' intention that the Trust's grant-making should continue for the foreseeable future and, as a consequence, the investments in the Fund are managed on a long-term basis, as described below. The Trustees aim to have a sustainable distribution policy which maintains the level of charitable giving provided it is prudent to do so. They have adopted a total return approach designed to ensure that a sustainable level of investment gains is distributed as grants. Investment income is reinvested in the Fund and expenditure is financed by cash withdrawn according to a formula which recognises that some past capital gains can be safely distributed, provided that the ability of the Fund to generate adequate returns into the future is not compromised. The current formula provides for up to 3.5% of the market value of the Fund, averaged over the previous three years, to be withdrawn, subject to the three year average being not less than £113 million; this being the base valuation of the Fund when the formula was agreed in 2008, £90 million, adjusted for subsequent inflation.

**THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

In 2020, the Trustees have authorised an additional transfer from endowment funds to cover the shortfall in unrestricted funds needed to finance the grants awarded in the year. This is presented as a transfer between funds of £1,354,375 in the statement of financial activities. 

The Trust does not need to retain unrestricted income funds as reserves although in some years such funds can remain due to the timing of commitments. There were no such balances extant at 31 December 2020. 

At the year end the value of the Endowment Fund was £128,463,041 million which the Trustees consider appropriate in the context of the above policy. 

## **Investment Policy** 

The Trust Deed does not impose any restriction on the Trustees' power to invest. The endowment funds are invested for the long term under the professional guidance of The Trust’s Fund Managers, who operate with discretionary mandates but subject to guidelines defined in the Trustees' Statement of Investment Principles. 

The Trust’s investment policy has a target return objective of 3.5% above the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), net of fees, measured over a rolling 3 year period. Investment performance is judged against this objective.  In 2020 the Trust’s target return was set at 4.8%.  The returns achieved during the year by the three firms of investment managers, on the assets for which they are responsible were: Cazenove 5.4%, Ruffer 14.8% and Ninety One 3.7%. Overall, this was a satisfactory level of performance given the turbulence of global financial markets resulting from the pandemic. 

The Fund Managers provide the Trustees with a written valuation and performance report each quarter and meet with the Investments Sub-Committee at least once per annum to review the performance of the funds which they manage and respond to questions from the Sub-Committee on behalf of the Board. 

The Trustees undertook a review of the Investment Policy during 2020, which included an external assessment of the Funds’ asset allocations and managers’ performance. Following that review, the Sub-Committee also invited tenders to assess alternative approaches and test performance and value for money. The Trustees approved the Sub-Committee’s recommendations in November 2020, and the agreed changes were fully implemented in February 2021. 

The Trustees considered the Trust’s approach to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects of its portfolio holdings as part of their investment review, and the Sub-Committee gave careful consideration to the managers’ approach to ESG during the tender process.  The Trustees expect that the investment managers will adopt an active policy on the exercise of voting rights in accordance with the principles of good corporate governance published by the Institutional Shareholders' Committee. ESG considerations are included in the managers’ reports to the Trustees. 

The result of the review was that the funds previously held by Cazenove and Ninety One were re-allocated to pooled funds managed by Baillie Gifford, Sarasin and Vanguard in order to increase the proportion of the Trust’s investments held in equities to approximately 70%.  This is the minimum level the Trustees consider necessary to achieve the Trust’s investment objective of CPI+3.5% over the long-term.  While greater exposure to equities carries some risk of volatility in the short-term, the Trustees consider this to be balanced by the Trust’s other more defensive investments and strong cash balances. 

The Trust's cash resources – £7.4 million at the year-end - are invested to ensure that funds are readily available to meet grant payments and other obligations as they fall due. In the current low interest rate environment, the income yield on cash balances is modest but the Trustees regard the present 47% cash cover for all outstanding

grant commitments to be appropriate, when coupled with the Trust’s substantial £128.4m of expendable endowment funds. 

The Trustees consider that their responsibility for the safety and performance of the Trust's investments is discharged appropriately by the arrangements set out above, when combined with the Trust's own monitoring of portfolio activity, and the annual audit procedures. 

## **Conclusions regarding Going Concern** 

After making enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future.  The Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue and accordingly, they consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities on page 12.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards). 

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 judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent: 

- follow applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the accounts; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions, 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. 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 irregularity. 

## **Auditor** 

Haysmacintyre LLP has indicated its willingness to be reappointed as statutory auditor for the next financial year.

**THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

- In our opinion, the financial statements: 

   - give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of the charity’s net movement in funds for the year then ended; 

   - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

   - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’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** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report. 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. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.

**THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charity; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the charity’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees for the financial statements** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 12, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Based on our understanding of the charity and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the regulatory requirements of the Charity Commission, 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, Charities SORP (2019) and payroll taxes. 

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of override of controls. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Enquiries of management regarding correspondence with regulators and tax authorities: 

- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of noncompliance with laws and regulation and fraud: 

- Reviewing the controls and procedures of the charity, particularly in relation to grant payments, to ensure these were in place throughout the year, including during the Covid-19 remote working period: 

- Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities: and 

- Reviewing and testing journal entries made in the year, particularly those made as part of the year end financial reporting process.

**THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

## **1. PRINICIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **a)        Basis of accounting** 

The Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales and as such is a Public Benefit entity. Governed by its Trust Deed, dated 18 February 1964. 

The Trust’s Charity Commission registration number is 233838 and its registered address is 24, Manchester Square, London, W1U 3TH. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investments and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2019) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 _**.**_ 

The functional currency of the Trust is considered to be GBP because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the charity operates. 

After making enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future.  The trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue and accordingly, they consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities on page 12. 

## **b)       Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, which are described in this note, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods. 

In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year. 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the presentation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **c)       Income from investments** 

Dividend, interest and other income is accounted for on an accruals basis and is shown gross of any associated tax credits recoverable. 

## **d) Grants and donations payable** 

Grants and donations are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities based on the commitments made during the year.  Because most projects last for more than one year the total of amounts committed but not yet paid is shown split between current and long-term liabilities. 

Page | 18 



## **THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

## **e) Fixed assets and depreciation** 

Fixed assets over £500 are capitalised.  Depreciation is provided on fixed assets, in order to write off the cost of the assets over their expected useful lives estimated residual values, at the following rates: 

Office equipment 20% p.a. straight line Fixtures and fittings 20% p.a. straight line 

## **f) Investments** 

Investments are stated at mid-market value at the year end.  The Statement of Financial Activities includes the aggregate of realised and unrealised gains and losses during the year. 

## **g) Basis of allocation of costs** 

## _Cost of generating funds_ 

The cost of generating funds represents amounts paid to the Trust's external investment managers. 

## _Support costs_ 

These costs are incurred directly in the delivery of the Trust’s charitable activities. These costs are based on the percentage of time that a resource is used in the application of grants administration and associated activities together with the overhead costs of the charity. 

## _Governance costs_ 

Governance costs comprise costs incurred in Trust administration and compliance with regulatory requirements. Staff costs are calculated as a percentage of time committed. 

## **h) Portfolio management fees** 

The cost of managing the Trust’s investment portfolio is met from Endowment Funds.  Portfolio management fees are recognised on an accruals basis. 

## **i) Pensions** 

Contributions were made to all employees’ personal pension schemes in accordance with their employment contracts.  All such contributions are expensed through the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are due. 

## **j) Funds** 

Endowment funds represent the investment assets derived from the original gift from Sir Jules Thorn.  The endowment is expendable at the discretion of the Trustees. 

## **k) Financial instruments** 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Trust becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Additionally, all financial assets and liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. 

Financial assets, comprised of cash, other debtors and accrued income, and financial liabilities, comprised of grants payable, other creditors and accruals, are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs) and

**THE SIR JULES THORN CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020** 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 

are subsequently re-measured where applicable at amortised cost except for investments which are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

The Trust’s investment managers enter into forward rate currency contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates within the investment portfolio throughout the year. These contracts are recognised at fair value within the overall valuation of the investment portfolio with gains or losses recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

## **13.  POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS** 

In February 2021 the Trustees changed some of the Investment Managers.  The funds with Cazenove and Ninety One were liquidated and transferred to Baillie Gifford & Co, Sarasin & Partners and Vanguard.  This decision was made following an Investments strategy review conducted in 2020 and will result in a change in market exposure, including cash allocations, which should not have any detrimental effect on the charity.
