THE DAVID PICKFORD CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
The Trustees present their report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published on 16 July 2014 as amended by Bulletin 1.
Objects
The objectives of the foundation are set out in Clause 2 of the Deed which states that the Trustees shall hold the trust fund and the income thereof to pay or apply the annual income of any part of the capital of the trust fund to, or for, such charitable institution, or institutions, or other charitable objects, or objects as the Trustees shall from time to time at their discretion select.
a) Investments
There are no restrictions, the declaration of trust provides the Trustee with the widest powers of investing, disposing of and dealing with the trust fund which are lawfully capable of being conferred on Trustees.
b) Expenditure
The whole of sums expended, whether income or capital, shall be applied for purposes coming within the legal definition of charitable purpose.
Public benefit statement
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.
Review of the year
Income for the year totalled £7,663 (2021: £7,073). The assets held in The Pickford Trust were transferred to the charity upon closure of the Pickford Trust. This resulted in a one-off donation of £846,768
Expenditure amounted to £69,324 (2021: £66,756) of which £52,600 (2021: £51,600) was distributed to charitable organisations within the objects of the Trust Deed. The key areas for focus for donations were support for vulnerable people in the UK; support for evangelistic work, with particular focus on work with children and young people; support for international projects; support for the development of Christian leadership; support for those who have been badly affected by the impact of COVID and support fot the relief of those in Ukraine.
The result for the year, before the gains on investments was a surplus of £785,107 (2021: £59,683). The result after gains on investment was a surplus of £828,696 (2021: £190,846).
The charity had funds at 5 April 2022 totalling £1,876,491 (2021: £1,048,795).
The market value of the investments at the end of the year was £1,796,452 (2021: £1,025,074) compared with the cost of £1,710,685 (2021: £868,518). The market value of the investments at 5 April 2022 was above the original cost. In addition to the charity's portfolio of investments the charity held cash to be invested amounting to £72,500 (2021: £8,596).
Policy to risk
The Trustees are aware of the risk factors of the Foundation and every precaution is taken to ensure all legal obligations are adhered to. The Trustees attempt to avoid financial risk as far as possible by investing in shares on a low risk basis. As the charity's sole source of income is through its investment portfolio, this represents the major risk. Whilst the current state of the stock market has meant some shares have fallen in value, it is anticipated in due couse these values will recover.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
Reserves
The Trustees aim to spend at least the income received in the year before taking account of investment gains and losses. The Trustees would anticipate holding unrestricted reserves equivalent to one year's average annual expenditure which currently amounts to £70,000 (2021: £67,000), though this varies due to the number of requests received. Unrestricted funds at 5 April 2022 amount to £8,539 (2021: £15,125). The Trustees will review the policy on an annual basis.
Designated funds at 5 April 2022 amounted to £1,256,951 (2021: £434,669) and details can be found in note 10 Endowment funds at 5 April 2022 amounted to £849,289 (2021: £612,001) and details can be found in note 11.
Plans for the future
The Trustees intend to review the requests that are made to the charity with the expectation that donations will be in line with themes for 2021/22.
Structure
The charity, which is registered with the Charity Commission under number 243437, is established under a Trust Deed dated 2 April 1965.
Governance and management
The Trustees of The David Pickford Charitable Foundation are responsible for the general control and management of the administration of the charity.
The Trustees who have served during the year were as follows:
Mrs E J Pettersen Mr C J Pickford (resigned 23 December 2022) Mrs P Blackwell (appointed 23 December 2022)
Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. 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 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

THE DAVID PICKFORD CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
1. Accounting Policies
1.1 Accounting convention
The David Pickford Charitable Foundation is a registered charity with the Charity Commission in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are set out in Clause 2 of the Deed which states that the Trustees shall hold the trust fund and the income thereof to pay or apply the annual income of any part of the capital of the trust fund to, or for, such charitable institution, or institutions, or other charitable objects, or objects as the trustees shall from time to time at their discretion select.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 as amended by Bulletin 1, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
1.2 Funds accounting
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objectives.
Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the Trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
Endowment fund represents investments mentioned in the Scheme as ‘The Trust Fund’. Any appreciation arising from this sum can be shown as part of unrestricted funds.
1.3 Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
1. Accounting Policies
1.4 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
The charity has or may make charitable donations or grants in the form of specific donations to local, national or international charitable causes. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
1.5 Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains / (losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
1.6 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
1.7 Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
1.8 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
The Foundation donates cash available in its bank account throughout the year. The cash available is generated from the investment portfolio via dividends & interest net of management fees. The Foundation has no formal commitments as regards its donations.
1.9 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty.

3 Permanent endowment invested on a total return basis
The charity has been granted the investment power of total return. This power permits the Trustees to invest permanently endowed funds to maximise total return and therefore to apply an appropriate portion of the unapplied total return to income. The unapplied total return remains invested as part of the permanent endowment until that power is exercised. When exercised it allows the Trustees to apply an appropriate portion of the unapplied total return to income each year.
