by Charities- Statement of Recommended Practi￿ applicable to charities preparing their accounts In
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS1021.
Structure. governance and management
The settlement wa5 established by an initial gift of £l(l) from Charles Reginald Belling on 20 August 1964.
Subsequent increases in capital have been made by the Belling Staff Settlement whose objects permit the
passing of capital funds to this charity. The settlement doe5 not raise funds for its activities. The trustees
named on page 2 have served throughout the year. The settlement operates as an unincorporated
charitsble trust.
Appointment of trustees is governed by the trust deed of the settlement. Trustees are authorised to appoint
new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee. There is a minimum
requirement of three trustees in the trust deed. No maximum number exists. Tnjstees may art by majority
if there are three or more in number.
Normal practice is for the trustees to meet every six months. An agenda is prepared and contributed to by
all trustees and includes broad strategy and areas of activity for the settlement, including consideration of
grant makin& investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day-to-day
administration of grants and the processing and handling of applications prior to consideration by the
trustees, is delegated to the administrators, Roundhouse Associates Limited. The stockbrokers, Charles
Stanley Ltd, also attend the trustee meetings. in person or remotely, as required.
The trustees keep the requirements fortheTrustee Body under review and in the event that a trustee retires,
or an additional trustee is required. the trustees would agree to make an appropriate appointment.
Objectives and artI￿tieS
The trustees have absolute discretion to distribute the capital and income for education and the rellef of
poverty. In the Deed of Settlement, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, reference is made
to education within the electronics sector and the relief of poverty, in its widest sense. of persons involved
in the electronics industry and of their dependents.
The objects of the settlement are deliberately wide as this settlement is intended to last indefinitely and
must be able to cope with time and circumstances that could not have been envisaged bythe Settlor in 1964.
Grant Makin8
The trust has historically provided grant5 to primary schools in the Enfield and Cornwall regions. In recent
years, the trust has tried to ensure that secondary schools are also helped each year. Where secondary
schools are concerned, the trustees stipulate that funds are to be used for STEM projects only. Given the

size and complexity of secondary school bids. the trust is generally limited to helping one secondary school
per year.
Flnancial review, achievements and perfomiance
At the start of 2023, the trustees controlled total funds of £1.487,165 {2021 £2.171,0391. At the end of 2023,
these funds had increased after distributions of capital and income and payment of expenses to £1.574.133.
The investment portfolio performance is closely monitored throughout the year. with the year*nd value
determining the level of expenditure on educational grants in the following year. Dividend income was down
on the prior yearf5 levels, although not sufficient by itself to cover the trust's running expenses. The portfolio
suffered a large downturn at the start of 2022. due primarily to the Russia/Ukraine situation and inflationary
pressures. This has Started to recover gradually throughout 2022 and 2023.
The trust made payments to ex-members of the Belling Group staff and their dependants of £71,41112022
£80,221). This amount comprised voluntary pensions paid to early and ill health retirees as well as pension
shortfall payments. The trustees currently fund the whole of the shortfall in pensions paid by the Belling
Retirement Pension Plan, through Legal & General Insuran￿ Co Ltd.
The trust also granted funds to provide ICT equipment for educational purposes in primary and secondary
schools and other institutions. These totalled £222,590 {2022 £201,191). In addition, engineering
scholarship5 were advanced to Engineering undergraduates via the Ilnstitution of Engineering and
Technology) totalling E25,21￿1{2022 - £22.6LK)l. In 2021 and 2022. this included a scholarship for £3,IXX) to
the son of trustee Keith Wright. The scholarship is being awarded on the same terms as other IET
scholarships lover a four-year maximum period). The Trust continues to provide grants to the Engineering
Development Trust IEDll totalling £15,(KX)12022 - £5,CMX)l. This helped fund the EDT'S Industrial Cadets
projert for school pupils in years 8 and 9. as well as bursaries for pupils to attend various 'routes into STEM,
days. In 2023, the trust supported Bath University with a one-year scholarship for £3,000 for biology
undergraduates, undertaking a one-year placement at Yamaguchi University in Japan. For 2023, the student
supported was a son of trustee Keith Wright. The trust has agreed to continue this scholarship for the next
three years, supporting two students per year at a cost of £4,000 per year.
Total management and administration costs during 2023 were £58.87812022- £59,75SI.
Reserves poliry
It is the Trust's aim to maintain net reserves at a minimum capital figure that will enable the settlement to
meet the estimated future costs of paying all voluntary pension5 and shortfall pensions from its own
resources. To that end. it is the Trusys policy to maintain net reserves between £l.SM and £2.5M. In past
years. where the portfolio value each year, the Trust was able to provide for educational grants and the relief
of poverty from its own capit31. The fa11 in the portfolio value 15 recent years ha5 resulted in reserves falling
below the desired £1.5M, hence during since 2022, applications recoMMen￿d to the trustees of the Belling
Staff Settlement to fund any balance of the capital figure required.

THE BELLING CHARrrABLE sErrLEME￿f
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
For the Year ended 31 December 2023
Statement of trustees, responslblllties In relatlon to the flnanclal ststsments
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and the financial staternents in
accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Prartice}.
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 wew of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming
resources and application of resources of the charity for the year. 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 2015 IFRS 1021-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of ￿¢0MMended practice have been
followed, subject to any material departures dis¢105ed and explained in the financial 5tatements-
prepare the financial statements on a going con￿rn basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that
the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees a￿ responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anv
time the financial position of the charity which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply
with the Charities Act 2011. the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2LX)8 and the provisions of the
trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the asset5 of the charity and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Public benefft
It is common knowledge that neither the Department of Education nor most individual schools are able to
fully fund the substantial capital required to meet the IT educational needs for pupils in the UK. It therefore
falls upon the private and not for profit sertor to make funds available to Schools in order that UK students
are able to compete in industry and commerce both at home and abroad. Schools that cannot provide up to
date IT equipment and services are more likely to fall behind.
In setting the objectives of the settlement and planning its activities. the trustees have given careful
consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. The trustees are confident
that given the activities of the settlement and the access to funding that they make available, the settlement
is fully compliant with its public benefit obligations.

is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of our audit,
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent

THE BELLING CHARITABLE SETfLEMEr
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRusfEES OF THE BELL114G CHARITABLE SErrLEMEMr
For the Year ended 31 December 2023
Irregularities, includin8 fraud, are instances of non-complian￿ with law5 and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities. Outlined above. to detert material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities.
including fraud is detailed below:
The extent to whlch the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularltles. Includlng fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities,
including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. was as follows:
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate
competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and
regulations;
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions Wlth trustees,
and from our knowledge ofthe charity sector:
we focused on Specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect
on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including Charities Act 2011.
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making
enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence. and
identif led laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team
remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibilty of the chariws financial statements to material mi55tatement, including
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by=
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was a sU5ceptibility to fraud,
their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud-
considerin8 the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To addres5 the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we..
pèrformed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transaction5; and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations. we designed
procedures which included, but were not limited to..
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance,.
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims:
reviewing correspondence with HMRC and with relevant regulators such as the Charity Commission.

THE BELLING CHARrrABLE SErnEMEKr
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BELLING CHARITABLE SETfLEMEMr
For the Year ended 31 December 2023
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The risk increase5 the MO￿ that
laws and regulations are removed from financial transactions. the less likely it 15 that we would become
aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-
compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and the inspection of regulatory and legal
correspondence. if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as
they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Flnanclal Reportin8 Council's website at: www.frc.or8.uvauditorsresponsibilities.
This description forrns part of our auditorfs report.
Use of our report
This report is made Sole￿ to the charity's trustees. as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Our
audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are
required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by
law. we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees
as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice= Accounting
and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 second edition issued October 2019 and the Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Charities Act
2011.
The Trust is not required to prepare a Statement of cash flows in accordance with SORP IFRS 102) with
update Bulletin l {paragraph 3.12).
The settlement constitutes a public benefrt entity as defined by FRS 102.

and rounded to the nearest £.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the settlement's ability to continue as
a going concern. With respect to the next reporting period. 2024. the most significant areas of uncertainty
that affect the carrying value of assets held by the settlement are the level of investment return and the
performance of investment markets.
{bl
Funds structure
The funds of the settlement have been historically provided by the re-investment of ￿turnS from listed
shares and bygrants made by the Belling Staff Settlement, for both the relief of poverty and the development
of education. These funds have been and are grdnted on the basis that the funds are to be used for Specific
purposes and as such, have been classified as restrirted funds.
Restricted funds are f und5 which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed on them by
the donor or trust deed. It is the intention of the trusteesto establish a designated restricted fund specifically
to aid the finance of future pension payments to ex members of Belling & Co. Limited and their dependents.
The trustees await all of the information required in connection with these ex-members to allow them to
establish such a fund.
Ic }
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are recognised once the settlement has entitlement to the resources; it is probable
that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with
sufficient reliability- Grants receivables are recognised on a sums due basis.
12

THE BELLING CHARITABLE SErrLEMENT
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNtS
For the Year ended 31 December 2023
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by
the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank/broker. Dividends
are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
This 15 normally upon notification by the investment advisor.
Idl Expenditu￿ recognition
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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation
can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support C05t5 and governance
costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this
attribution refer to note (h}.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objettives of the
settlement. A liability for grants payable is recognised when the trustees have approved the grant, the
subject matter of the grant is installed and when a copy of the agreed supplier's VAT invoice has been
received by the settlement. Provisions are made where there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or
the amount of the grant payable. This could occur where trustees have approved the payment of the grant
but the equipment has not yet been installed and therefore no VAT invoice can be supplied. No discounting
of grants payable is applied a5 the trustees do not consider grants provided for at the balance sheet date to
be payable beyond one year from that date.
lel
Irrecoverable value added tsx
VAT is not recoverable by the charity. and is therefore charged against the category of resources expended
for which it was incurred.
Costs of generating funds

audit and legal fees and other related overhead costs. Where appropriate these costs are allocated by the
trustees between restricted and unrestricted funds on a time expended basis.
Flxed a55ets Investments
Investments held are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction
value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted
market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation
and disposals throughout the year.
