The committee of management 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 The Vassar-Smith Fund exists to provide assistance to Lloyds Bank staff and pensioners or their dependants in need. Lloyds Bank staff is defined as staff recruited originally by Lloyds Bank plc, Lloyds TSB Bank plc or Lloyds TSB Scotland plc. The policy is to distribute the total regular income each year to known needy cases from Lloyds Bank present staff, pensioners and widows of pensioners, or their dependents. Such income comes from investments made from legacies received over past years and collections from branches and staff functions, donations and legacies. The Fund's priority is assisting in cases where its help can bring about a significant improvement in an individual's quality of life. The Vassar-Smith Fund gives particular consideration to applications from those whose financial circumstances mean that they are unable to provide the necessary resources themselves. Financial circumstances are investigated very carefully to ensure that assistance is targeted where it is most needed. Wherever possible the Fund seeks third party contributions to the cost of grants from charities or other organisations that might be prepared to assist applicants. ## Achievement and performance The Fund has continued to provide assistance to Lloyds staff and pensioners or their dependants who are in need. This has been seen in a consistent level of grants awarded year on year. 1 The Vassar-Smith Fund ## Committee of Management’s Annual Report for the Year Ended 2 August 2023 ## Financial review Donations of £4,799 (2022: £5,397) have been received during the year. Legacies of £Nil (2022:£Nil) were received during the year. Gross investment income has risen by £5,962 to £36,363 (2022: £30,401). A total of 22 grants (2022: 6) amounting to £25,015 (2022: £7,000) have been made during the year to assist Lloyds Bank staff; both active and those retired or their dependants. There is a net deficit for the year amounting to £45,980 (2022: Net deficit of £113,974). Net loss on investments during the year amounts to £45,827 (2022: Net loss of £125,263). The market value of investments as at 02 August 2023 amounts to £977,750 (2022:£1,023,201). The Committee of Management wish to retain an adequate capital base to fund these grants into the foreseeable future. ## Reserves policy 1. Reasons for reserves: The Fund is restricted by its objects to benefiting serving and former staff of Lloyds Bank and their dependants. Thus, it has restricted constituency for fundraising, and this can result in significant fluctuations in income and a greater reliance on investment returns than would be the case with a 'public' charity. With continuing commitments to regular payments to beneficiaries, significant reserves are essential to cope with both fluctuating levels of donations and uncertain investment returns. 2. Level of reserves required: The current level of reserves, which produces income consistently of around £40,000 per year is considered broadly sufficient in the current circumstances. 3. Monitoring of policy: The Fund's investment policy is reviewed regularly by the Treasurer and Secretary in conduction with the Investment managers and annually by the Committee of Management. 2 The Vassar-Smith Fund ## Committee of Management’s Annual Report for the Year Ended 2 August 2023 ## Structure, governance and management The Vassar-Smith Fund was established in 1922/23 by a cash collection made by Lloyds Bank staff at that time. The charity is governed by the minutes dated 23rd February 1923. The charity was registered on 25th August 1964. The Fund was designated to help Lloyds Bank staff; past and present. It is a registered charity entirely independent of the bank's control but is managed by an independent committee of the bank's staff, "The Committee of Management". The Fund comprises the original Capital Fund (Plain Fund), General Fund, PH Clements Accumulation, PH Clements Bequest and EFO Moss Memorial Fund. There are no restrictions on the use of capital or income from the Plain and General Fund. The PH Clements Fund is to be used for members of Lloyds Bank staff who are medically certified as incipient cases only of Tubercular complaints and is to assist them to travel to places in order to regain their health. In 1973 the Charities Commission approved a scheme whereby any income not required for these purposes may be applied for the general purposes of the Vassar-Smith Fund. This is therefore treated as an unrestricted fund. Mrs EFO Moss' bequest is for the staff of Lloyds Bank, their wives and children stricken by disease. This fund is therefore treated as a restricted fund. It is assumed that of the total grants made of £25,015 (2022: £7,000), grants of the annual income of this Fund of £2,040 (2022: £1,520) are made to "staff of Lloyds Bank, their wives and children stricken by disease". Therefore, no undistributed income has been added to the restricted fund. ## Risk management The Vassar-Smith Fund has carried out a detailed review of the areas in which the operation of the Fund could be exposed to risk and has implemented a range of safeguards and oversight to reduce any such risks as identified below: 1. Fraud and theft: Charities are particularly exposed to fraud and theft where cash collections are involved. There are few cash collections carried out on behalf of the Vassar-Smith Fund and those that do take place are carried out at social gatherings of current or past Lloyds TSB staff and transferred to the Fund by cheque. The amounts of cash collected locally would be small and such collections are not easily susceptible to audit. The Secretary and Treasurer scrutinises all cash originated donations. Other donations are received either by cheque, bank automated payment or charitable giving via a third party. These are monitored by the Secretary and Treasurer. All donations are reported to the Committee of Management. 2. Poor investment performance allied to poor/unsuitable investment guidelines: To minimise the risk of poor investment performance the Fund employs professional Fund Managers and regular reviews are carried out by the Secretary and Treasurer. The Committee of Management receive periodic detailed reports on investment performance. 3. Poor administration: As with all organisations the Fund is potentially at risk from administrative errors leading to a failure to adhere to statutory requirements. The Fund's day to day administration is overseen by the Secretary and Treasurer. 4. Over commitment: Like all charities the Fund is potentially at risk from over commitment to make grant payments, particularly those involving regular payments into the future where expenditure may outstrip income flows. All grants are subject to group decision making and a regular review of commitments by the Secretary and Treasurer. All grants are reviewed and approved retrospectively by the Committee of Management. 3 The Vassar-Smith Fund ## Committee of Management’s Annual Report for the Year Ended 2 August 2023 5. Dishonesty in claims by recipients: The Fund is at risk from dishonest or fraudulent representations from, or on behalf of, people seeking grants. So far as is possible within the constraints of other legislation the Fund seeks to obtain third party confirmation of applicants' circumstances before making grants. Where it is considered necessary, applicants are visited by a representative of the Fund to confirm the need for assistance. The Fund's managers have considerable experience in banking and with personal finance matters. ## Reference and administrative details Registered Charity number 236381 Principal address The Vassar-Smith Fund Bedford Heights Brickhill Drive Bedford Bedfordshire MK41 7PH Trustees Lloyds Bank Plc ## Registered charity name The Vassar-Smith Fund Honorary Secretary I K Partridge Independent Examiner Stephenson Smart (East Anglia) Limited 10 Oak Street Fakenham Norfolk NR21 9DY Approved by order of the board of trustees on 28 May 2024 and signed on its behalf by: Mr I K Partridge – Honorary secretary 4 Independent Exarniner's Report to the Committee of Management of The Vassar-smith Fund I reptsrt to the Committee ol Management on my examination of the financial statements of The Vassar-5mith Fund I'the charity'l for the year ended 2nd AuEUSt 2023 which comprise ihe Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.

MrNCSrnith-Co ee of M•na8ewt15*ned•n behèlF01t￿ Irusieel The note5 form part of these financial statements The Vassar-Smith Fund Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 2 August 2023 ## 1. General information The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Vassar-Smith Fund, Bedford Heights, Brickhill Drive, Bedford, MK41 7PH. ## 2. 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. ## Going concern There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. ## Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 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. ## Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - Legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - Income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it many be regarded as restricted. ## Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 8 The Vassar-Smith Fund Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 2 August 2023 ## 2. Accounting policies - continued - Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. ## Investments Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment. Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure. ## Investments in associates Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition. ## Investments in joint ventures Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition. 9 The Vassar-Smith Fund Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 2 August 2023 ## 2. Accounting policies - continued ## Impairment of fixed assets A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. ## Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. 10 The Vassar-Smith Fund Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 2 August 2023 ## 2. Accounting policies - continued Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. ## 3.
