## **ESTATE CHARITY OF ALICE, DUCHESS DUDLEY** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2024.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8 and comply with the Charity’s Trust Deed, 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 and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Estate Charity of Alice, Duchess Dudley is regulated by a scheme of the Charity Commissioners of 13 June 1879, as varied by a scheme of the Charity Commissioners of 6 January 1885 and is now governed by a Charity Commission Scheme dated 11 January 1962.  The Registered Charity number is 244804. 

The Charity was established from a bequest by Alice, Duchess Dudley on her death in 1669 (355 years ago).  The funds have been added to over the course of time with the purchase of property and investments. The Charity does not actively fundraise and seeks to continue its work through careful stewardship of its existing resources. 

The Trust Deed states the body of trustees shall consist when complete of 10 competent persons who reside in or near the County of Warwick or the County of Northampton.  A trustee shall be appointed for a term of 5 years by a resolution of the trustees passed at a special meeting.  Thereafter a trustee may be reappointed.  The induction process for any newly appointed trustee comprises a meeting with the Chairman and the Board at which the powers and responsibilities of the Board are outlined and a brief history of the Trust is given. 

The trustees are required to hold at least two ordinary meetings in each year.  Committees meet as required and report to the full board of trustees.  The day to day administration of the Charity is handled by the Clerk to the Trustees. 

Each year 15% of the rents are transferable to a Building Reserve Fund.  Withdrawals from this can be made for the repair, extraordinary repair, improvement and re-building of the property owned by the Charity. 

## **Risk management** 

The Charity trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.

## **Objectives and activities** 

The object of the Charity is to distribute excess income between 2 individuals and 8 other organisations in varying proportions for relief of poverty and religious activities, as set out in the Trust Deed.  The beneficiaries are as follows :- 

|es are as follows :-||
|---|---|
||**No. of shares of**|
||**distributions**|
||────────────|
|Vicar of Bidford-on-Avon|9/102|
|Vicar of Blakesley|9/102|

|Poor of Blakesley|8/102|

|Trustees of Leigh Almshouses|24/102|
|Litchborough Charities|8/102|
|Poor of Patishall|8/102|
|Stoneleigh United Charities|6/102|



The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in The Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives and in planning for future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. The Charity’s original Terms and subsequent Schemes and Trust Deed restrict any grant distribution to those specified above and in the stated proportions. 

## **Financial Review including Achievement and Performance** 

The Trust's income comes from its investments and rents.  The total income for the year was £231,051 (2023, £211,416).  Expenditure is on the upkeep of the properties and the governance of the Trust. The distributions to the beneficiaries are half-yearly with the total paid for the year being £125,550 (2023, £137,700). The remaining surplus is in line with expectations.  It is hoped that the level of distributions can be maintained in the future. 

## **Investment policy** 

The trustees have formulated a statement of investment principles in relation to the Charity’s funds.  The investment managers, EFG Harris Allday, have full discretionary powers within agreed guidelines. 

## **Reserves policy** 

In accordance with the terms of the trust deed, it is the policy of the charity to retain from income as an addition to unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, such reasonable sums as the trustees think fit.

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

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 view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.  In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and : 

- i) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- ii) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- iii) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- iv) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which 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.  The trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF ESTATE CHARITY OF ALICE, DUCHESS DUDLEY** 

I report to the charity’s trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 17. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

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 charity 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. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other 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.
