The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 of the financial statements and with the 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). ## **Structure governance and management** The charity was constituted on 5 September 1961 as a charitable trust, and is governed by the trust deed. The power to appoint new trustees rests with the existing trustees. New trustees may be appointed by a majority of trustees while they number more than two. ## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit** The object of the charity, as set out in the trust deed, is to pay or apply the income and (if they think fit), the capital of the trust fund for the benefit of such charitable purposes or charitable institutions as the trustees select. Under the trust deed, the trustees may invest any monies in the purchase of any investments, wherever situated, not being investments involving personal liability and whether or not authorised by law for the investment of trust monies. Trustees may invest in the purchase of freehold or leasehold land as they shall in their absolute discretion think fit. The trustees, having regard to the Public Benefit Guidance published by the Charity Commission in accordance with section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, consider that the purpose and activities of the charity satisfy the requirements of the public benefit test set out in section 4 of the same Act. ## **Achievements and performance** During the year, the settlement made grants totalling £18,000 (2021 - £23,481) (note 4), for charitable purposes and to charitable institutions, from income from investments held. The grants were made to a number of institutions, which covered the following sectors: Education, Medical care and Welfare, and Religious activities and communal. The donations were made without conditions and to be applied by the recipient charitable institution in furtherance of their charitable objectives. The trustees expect to continue to make similar donations in the future. The settlement's affairs are carried on by its trustees, who meet as necessary for this purpose. ## **Financial review** Investments at the year end had a market value of £778,588 (2021 - £715,088). At the year end the unrestricted fund held reserves of income of £54,483 (2021 - £38,725), which is to be distributed in future financial periods. The expendable endowment fund had reserves totalling £801,605 (2021 - £747,866) at the year end. ## **Reference and administrative details** ## **Trustees** Mr Christopher Hugh Prendergast Mrs Jennifer Skidmore Mrs Sally Louise Prendergast **Address** 7 Bowland Yard Kinnerton Street London SW1X 8EE 2 THE SIMONE PRENDERGAST CHARITABLE SEfTLEMENT TRUSTEES Year ended 5 Aprrl 2022 Independert examlner S J Wakefield ACA D￿on WIlK41 22 Chancwy Lme WC2A ILS Charlty numb•r 242881 Bankers HSBC Bank plc 90 Baker Streer London WIV 6AX Approvad by th• trust￿ on 2023 and sipwd C￿ the￿ behalf trr. MR C H PRENDERG4ST TrusEe• e//f ## **THE SIMONE PRENDERGAST CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** I N D E P E N D E N T E X A M I N E R ’ S R E P O R T ## **Year ended 5 April 2022** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 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’). You are satisfied that an audit is not required for this year under charity law and that an independent examination is needed. I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. Dixon Wilson, a firm of Chartered Accountants of which I am an employee has provided bookkeeping services to the Trust and I have applied the FRC’s Revised Ethical Standard in carrying out my examination. An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters than an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). I have no concerns and have come across no 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.
