**THE FIRE SERVICE RESEARCH & TRAINING TST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The objectives of the charity are to promote and assist: 

- research into methods of the prevention of, protection from or response to, fire and rescue service related risks posed  to businesses or communities; 

- training of fire and rescue service personnel; 

- securing improvements in appliances of value to the fire and rescue service; and 

- securing the general efficiency and effectiveness of UK fire and rescue services as a whole. 

The charity's purpose is to support learning, research and the sharing of information and ideas across the UK fire and rescue services by: 

- promoting and assisting the training and development of UK fire and rescue service personnel; 

- promoting and assisting new research that meets the needs of UK fire and rescue services; and 

- sharing information and ideas relevant to UK fire and rescue services that assists in learning. 

Whilst the charity works with other bodies on specific projects, the charity's overall strategy, direction and programme of work remains independent; as set by the trustees. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees will not ally the charity to, or provide commercial advantage to, any commercial organisation or group of commercial organisations. The trustees have regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and consider the charity's activities and award of grants are for the public benefit. 

## **History** 

The charity was established in 1940, using funds provided by the insurance sector to encourage study and experiment on fire protection and prevention. 

## **Grant making** 

The trustees receive requests for funding from institutions and individuals and assess these on the basis of their contribution towards the stated objects of the charity and available financial resources. The charity awards four types of grant: 

- scholarship award scheme: funding study programmes subject to maximum award of £2,500 per annum. 

- small project grant scheme: funding research projects from £1,000 to £3,000 over a maximum of two years; 

- research fellowship award scheme: funding postgraduate studies programmes subject to a maximum award of  £20,000 over a maximum of three years (six years of part time studies); and 

- research project grant scheme: funding research projects in the range £10,000 to £150,000 over a maximum of fours years. 

Further information to assist grant applicants can be found on the charity's website at www.firetrust.info.

**THE FIRE SERVICE RESEARCH & TRAINING TST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

During the year the trustees continued to consider and approve application for grants which were mostly in the areas related to improved performance by the UK fire service. The trustees approved grants during the year of £17,880  (2021: £134,492). A full analysis of grants awards is provided on note 5 to the financial statements. 

## **Investment performance** 

The performance of the charity's investment manager, BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited, is regularly reviewed by the trustees against appropriate benchmarks. The trustees are satisfied with the current performance and the overall return attained from the charity's investments. The value of investments increased during the year and the BlackRock portfolio had a valuation of £5,780,361  as at 30th September 2022. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The trustees are satisfied with the financial state of affairs of the charity. At the year end the balance on the unrestricted general fund was £233,613 (2021: £236,635). The charity has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic but only in relation to the approval of grants commitments which has slowed, due to the research and follow up being much slower than planned. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The charity's investment income is solely derived from the funds, as currently invested, with which the charity was endowed on its creation in 1940. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The trustees' investment objective is to achieve capital growth and a growing level of income. The charity's  investments solely comprise a holding in Charifaith, a common investment fund, which seeks to avoid investment in companies  with a significant proportion of revenues from armaments, pornography, tobacco, abortion and contraception; thus achieving the trustee's ethical investment policy. Charifaith is a diversified fund with exposure to equities, bonds, low risk absolute return funds, property and cash and is actively managed by a professional fund manager. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees have regard to the charity's annual income with awarding grants but they consider themselves, neither limited by income receivable in each year, nor bound to apply the whole of the income receivable in each year. Therefore it is the policy of the trustees to maintain sufficient unrestricted general funds to meet their funding commitments and to respond to exceptional applications for grants which may arise from time to time. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The charity's aims and objectives remain constant and do not change from year to year. However, the way in which the charity manages its affairs will continue to be reviewed during the coming year in order to improve the charity's  overall effectiveness and, in particular, facilitate improved grant applications. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

The charity is unincorporated and was established by a declaration of trust dated 27th August 1940. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The declaration of trust originally provided that all trustees be appointed by and hold office and the pleasure of the Secretaries of State for the Home Department and for Scotland, who could also determine the number of trustees from time to time. in 2010 the relevant government departments indicated a wish for the trustees to determine their own appointments of new trustees. Accordingly the declaration of thrust has been amended so that the serving trustees shall determine the appointment of new trustees and that there shall be at least four trustees. In addition, the trustees have determined that at least one trustee shall normally reside in England and Wales; and at least one trustee shall normally reside in Scotland. Trustees are appointed where they have the skills to contribute to the management and development of the charity. Trustees are either serving or retired officials of long standing and seniority in the public or private sector; and have extensive experience of the fire sector and beyond.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FIRE SERVICE RESEARCH & TRAINING TST** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Fire Service Research & Training Tst** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Fire Service Research & Training Tst (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

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

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

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

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

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**THE FIRE SERVICE RESEARCH & TRAINING TST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

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

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the  revaluation of certain assets. 

## **Income** 

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

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

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

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **2. INVESTMENT INCOME**
