Report of the Trustees
For The Year Ended 30 June 2024
The Trustees present their Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30th June 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies as set out in note 1 and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published on 16 July 2014.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the Charity remain:
-
1 To apply income or capital for charitable purposes.
-
2 To advance funds for charitable purposes, be these general or specific; Trustees have particular interest in making grants to organisations requiring start up funds in both the United Kingdom and overseas.
-
3 The Mission Statement of the Charity states that the current priorities are directed towards population control, education, health and the environment.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting grant making policy for the year.
The Trust carries out these objects by funding projects of other charitable organisations that are running projects that meet the charitable objectives of the Trust. These organisations and the specific public benefit that their projects meet are shown below in note 5.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Delivery of public benefit through the Trust's grant making policy:
During this year the Trust supported 10 projects (2023: 14). Of these; 3 (2023: 1) were for health, 3 (2023: 3) were for education, 1 (2023: 6) were for health and education, 1 (2023 :3) were for environment and health, 2 (2023:1) were for environment, education and health. There were no projects for enviroment and education. The projects under the various public benefit headings were funded to assist with:
| Health: | - | To construct a borehole with mechanisation, plumbing and latrines at a primary school in |
|---|---|---|

| - | The project aims to transform community health and livelihoods for Karen communities, | |
| leading to improvements in health and well-being and contributing to increased access to | ||
| education and gender equality. This is achieved through the construction of a gravity-fed | ||
| water system and household sanitation units in a Karen village, and by providing community | ||
| hygiene education in the village. |
Grantmaking
The Trust has established its grant making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit of Health, Education, Population Control and the Environment. The Trustees review the grant making policy annually to ensure that it reflects the charity's objectives and thereby advances public benefit.
The Trustees receive applications from institutions requesting grant assistance. The Board of Trustees then considers these applications and decides whether to make the grant. The Trustees also receive follow up reports on the projects for which the grant was made. If these reports are not satisfactory any grant balance may be withheld or the Trustees may request repayment of the grant.
Each year the Trustees strive to distribute funds to those applications which meet the criteria. All applications are considered in detail and, provided they are acceptable, and meet the Trust's guidelines, the Trustees make grants subject to there being sufficient funds available for distribution.
Details of how to apply for grants are available on the Trust's website.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Monitoring achievement
The Trustees receive reports on each project. Due to the world wide nature of our projects and the often remote areas in which the work is undertaken visits by Trustees to check on the progress of these programmes is rare. Where practicable and feasible projects are visited by a Trustee. The risk is further minimised because the Trust prefers to support UK charities that are delivering benefit overseas rather than supporting overseas charities. The Trustees feel this assists the monitoring of projects.
Photographs and progress reports are the main source of monitoring. Communication is maintained throughout with the charitable organisation through which the project is funded.
Financial review:
The Trust is reliant on capital growth and income generated by its investments because it does not undertake any fundraising.
The annual realised gains were £148,006 (2023: £313,549) and the unrealised gains were £ 647,323 (2023: £15,156). The total return (including unrealised gains) was therefore £795,315 (2023; £338,705).
The income generated from the investment portfolio was £97,368 (2023: £64,356) . From this income and the net gains from its investments, the Trust paid out grants of £87,939 (2023: £120,392). Governance costs (included within expenditure on charitable activities) are £4,281 (2023: £4,428) Support Costs are £7,251 (2023: £8,049), and investment management costs are £49,140 (2023: £47,608). Costs of raising funds (Thalassa expenses) are £3,049 (2023: NIL)
Fundraising statement
The Trust does not raise funds from the public and does not employ fund raising agencies, street fundraisers or undertake telephone fund raising programs.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and Performance
The Trustee's Investment Policy has been to preserve the real value of the fund. The discretionary investment managers mainly invest in managed pooled funds, which have mitigated the risks inherent in direct investment. Performance of the discretionary managers is regularly monitored by the Trustees against independent performance measurement. The Trust Deed gives the Trustees unrestricted investment powers. All investments held have been acquired in accordance with the powers available to the Trustees.
The total market value of the investments at 30 June 2024 was £8,488,796 (2023: £7,608,282). Full disclosure of the investments is available in Note 9. The capital value, as adjusted for additions and disposals, increased by 10% (2023: increase 3%). Investment income was approximately 1.15% (2023: 0.84%) of capital value.
The trustees acknowledge that the value of investments may rise and fall and in the application of the policy to maintain the real value of the fund, they may apply a long term view. This policy was adapted in 2013 and after allowing for inflation, at the date of approval of these accounts, the real value of the funds had been maintained.
Following the Trustees' decision to appoint investment managers with full discretionary investments management powers, the Trustees receive quarterly reports and monitor the performance against benchmarks. Should the Trustees be consistently disappointed with the performance, then consideration would be given to changing investment managers.
Reserves policy
It is the trust's policy to maintain the real value of its investment funds over the long-term. It measures the total return on its investments, both from income and capital gains or losses, and any surplus above the real value can be expended in furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust.
The Trustees review the level of funds at each Trustee meeting, together with known and likely future demands on those funds. If in any one year the total return is insufficient to meet the budgeted grant making expenditure, the trustees will consider whether to reduce the budgeted expenditure in the year or to make adjustments over the longer period with the intention of preserving the long term real value of the Trust in accordance with the investment objective above.
The Trustees manage the Trust's investments so as to achieve the maximum rate of return consistent with the normal level of prudence which should govern the management of charitable funds and with the goal of maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet grant applications likely to be approved.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 June 2024
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees plan to continue work to retain the real value of the Trust's investments over the long term and, on this basis, only then to fund as many charitable organisations as the Trust is able.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The Trust is a registered charity, number 240915, and is constituted under a trust deed dated 7th January 1965 and the trustees are incorporated as a body. The Trust was established by Sir Harry Jephcott in 1965. Sir Harry was a pharmaceutical chemist and industrialist and in 1919 he joined Joseph Nathan, an Anglo-New Zealand company which marketed dried milk under the trade name Glaxo. He became the architect of what is now one of the world's major pharmaceutical companies, being largely responsible for providing Glaxo with the scientific base on which its prosperity depended. He retired as Managing Director in 1956, subsequently becoming non-executive Chairman and later honorary Life President. He endowed several charities including The Jephcott Charitable Trust. The Jephcott family continue to be actively involved in the Charity where they seek to continue the charitable work desired by the donor through careful stewardship of its resources.
The Trustees, who are listed on page 1, formulate the policies of the Charity including the nature of projects supported as well as the financial controls, under which the Charity operates.
The Trustees meet twice a year to agree the Trustee strategy and areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day to day administration of grants and the processing and handling of applications is delegated to a Secretary.
The Trustees have in place a finance sub-committee that reviews the investments held. The Finance Committee meet the Fund Managers at least once a year to review performance against benchmarks and review the risk profile of the investment portfolio. Where applicable it takes advice from various professional quarters. The sub-committee then reports to the main committee of Trustees, highlighting its recommendations. The recommendations of the sub committee cover such areas as level of liquidity to be maintained and the amount available for distribution. The appointment of investment managers is the responsibility of all Trustees.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
All trustees take responsibility for the recruitment of new trustees. Any current trustee can recommend a new trustee who is then invited to join a meeting after being introduced to at least one other trustee. If all trustees think this person would benefit the trust and the person still wishes to join, then the appointment takes place. New trustees join for an initial period of 5 years and then their continuing appointment becomes a rolling 2 year notice by either party. The appointment is made after taking into consideration the specific skills and knowledge of the appointee and the requirements of the Board as a whole. New Trustees attend a Trustees' meeting before they are appointed, receive a full briefing from the Chairman and written guidelines.
All trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of trustee expenses are disclosed in note 7 to the accounts. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Secretary and in accordance with the Trust's policy withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.
Sub-Committee of Independent Trustees
In the Will of Sir N W Jephcott (past Chairman), he left his 50% ownership of the property Thalassa, East Portlemouth, Salcombe to the Jephcott Charitable Trust with Mary, Lady Jephcott (his wife) having a life tenure. Following her demise in June 2023, the house was placed on the market in March 2024.
As four trustees are either directly or indirectly conflicted due to being family members, or beneficiaries, it was deemed necessary to form a sub-committee, made up of independent trustees. Chaired by the deputy chairman, Keith Morgan; it considers all matters relating to the sale of this property and the receipt of the proceeds.
This committee maintained detailed minutes of all matters considered and reported to the main committee of trustees as appropriate (see note on post balance sheet event).

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 June 2024
Risk management
The major risks to which the Trust is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, continue to be reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
The major risks that the Trust is subject to are the loss of capital value of the Trust's investments or the loss of funds through fraudulent grant applications.
As referred to above a finance sub-committee regularly reviews the investments of the Trust to ensure the capital funds are invested prudently. The trustees have appointed a Discretionary Fund Manager and instructed them to manage their funds in a risk adverse and cautious manner whilst still providing a positive return to allow the Trust to achieve its aim of giving donations.
The loss of funds through fraudulent grant application is mitigated through the diligent application of the guidelines, research and evaluation of the project together with direct communication with the applicant applying for funds.
The trustees continue to purchase indemnity insurance for the protection of both the Trust and the Trustees.
Governance statement
The Board of Trustees have had due regard to principals of recommended practices as set out by the "Charity Governance Code" and have applied these wherever practical and in decision making.
EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 30 June 2024
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.
The financial statements are prepared as a going concern and the Trustee's are certain there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Incoming resources
Investment income: This is accounted for in the year during which it is received. Expenses incurred in relation to this income are not separately identified and therefore are netted off income.
Legacy income: This is accounted for when the receipt of the income is probable and the amount can be accurately determined.
Dividends: Dividends are recognised in the period the monies are physically received.
All other incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
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 payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and any condition attaching to the grant is outside the control of the Trust. No accrual for grants are made when the intention to make the grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant of the amount of the grant payable.
Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities represent the grants made in the financial year.
Governance costs
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulations and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examiner's fee and legal fees together with the administration costs of the Trust.
Heritage assets
Heritage assets comprise solely of a book "Aurora Australis " which has been held for more than five years. This is held at retail replacement value with no provision for depreciation as the valuation is reviewed with sufficient regularity.
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.

The book "Aurora Australis" is one of approximately 100 that were published at the winter quarters of the British Antarctic expedition in 1907, illustrated with lithographs and etchings by George Marston and edited by Ernest Shackleton. This book is one of 60 that are known to still exist. The asset is separately insured.
The book was donated to the Charity on condition it is not sold in the donor's lifetime. Although it has no particular relevance to the work that the Charity undertakes, it is reasonable to retain it within the Heritage Asset heading.

The asset was re-valued to £90,000 by Bonhams Limited on 4th April 2023. The accounts reflect this retail replacement valuation and the asset will be held at valuation moving forwards.
The trustees have entered into a formal Loan Agreement with the Cadbury Research Library of the University of Birmingham for the book to be placed at the disposal of the University to be used for research and educational purposes. The University is responsible for the conservation, repair and maintenance of the book, but the book remains the ownership of the charity.
