The performance is provided to the Trustees for scrutiny. The investment management service offered by Investec is discretionary. ## **Reserves policy** Any surplus income not needed for grants at the trust's financial year end is normally added to the investment portfolio. ## **FUTURE PLANS** The immediate plan for the future is to obtain maximum benefit from the Trust investments and to continue to use the income through the award of grants for the benefit of organisations in the village. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. The Lothersdale Parish Trust was founded by Mrs Mary Hayes of Raygill, Lothersdale by a Declaration of Trust dated 28th September 1966. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** Trustees appointed during the year: With the change in the Headteacher, Mr Colum Grogan is now the representative for the Lothersdale Primary School. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Registered Charity number** 250302 ## **Principal address** c/o Stephen Brown Fold House 6 The Fold, Lothersdale KEIGHLEY West Yorkshire BD20 8HD Page 2 **Lothersdale Parish Trust** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28 September 2021** ## **Trustees** Mrs J Carr S Cohen Mrs D Williams Reverend H Collings M Willetts Mrs P Illingworth K Narey S Ward C Grogan ## **Independent Examiner** Helen Louise Barritt Tel No: (01535) 662686 FMAAT Stirk Lambert & Co Chartered Accountants Russell Chambers 61a North Street Keighley BD21 3DS Page 3 **Lothersdale Parish Trust** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28 September 2021** ## **Clerk** Mr Stephen Brown Tel No: (01535) 636682 Fold House 6 The Fold Lothersdale Keighley BD20 8HD ## **Bankers** Barclays Bank Plc 77 North Street Keighley West Yorkshire BD21 3SA ## **The Trustees consist of:-** ## **A) Ex Officio:** The Priest of the Parish: The Reverend Helen Collings Head Teacher of Lothersdale Community Primary School: Mr Colum Grogan ## **B) Representative Trustees:** Two appointed by Lothersdale Parish Council: Mr Kevin Narey and Mr Simon Ward One appointed by Lothersdale Parochial Church Council: Mrs Phoebe Illingworth One appointed by the following organisations having their main centre in the Parish: Lothersdale Village Trust - Vacant Lothersdale Under 5's Group - Vacant Lothersdale Village Hall Trust - Mr Stephen Cohen Lothersdale Community Out of School & Holiday Club - Mrs Deborah Williams Lothersdale Young Farmers - Vacant Lothersdale Mothers Union - Mrs Jane Carr Lothersdale Community First Responders - Vacant Co-opted Trustee - Mr Malcolm Willetts The Trustees would normally meet every three months but due to the Covid pandemic have been unable to meet since January 2020, decisions regarding grants have been made by email correspondence with all Trustees. Each charity or body which carries on charitable purposes within Lothersdale may appoint a Representative Trustee of the Trust, in addition the Trustees may also co-opt additional Trustees to the Trust and as at 28th September 2021 there were nine Trustees. Organisations in the village incurring capital expenditure or extraordinary expenditure apply to the Clerk for assistance from the Trust. With regard to the Trustees policy as to grant aid, it has been agreed, that normally applicants for grants should fund from, any sources, at least 25% of the total cost of the project and a maximum 75% grant would be made by the Trust after consideration of the merits of the projected expenditure. It is also the Trustees' policy that no organisation will be awarded more the £3,000 in any one financial year. All applications for grant aid are considered bearing in mind the nature of the application and whether this falls with the definition of charitable purposes towards the provisions of any capital expenditure, extraordinary expenditure or extraordinary repairs. Income should not be used for the ordinary running expenses incurred by any such organisation entitled to benefit.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 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. 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.

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. ## **Income** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. ## **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 offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. ## **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. ## **2.
