The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” 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 and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.
OBJECTIVE AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
Objectives
The summary of the objectives as stated in the Trust Deed are:
“The trustees are directed to pay or apply the income of the endowment to or for other charitable purposes of bodies, associations and organisations specified in the Trust Deed or any other charities for the time being registered under the Charities Act or such other charitable purposes as the trustees in such shares and manner as the trustees shall from time to time determine. The trustees are given discretion to apply the whole or any part of the capital of the Trust Fund for any of the like purposes.
Any income not applied as above mentioned may be temporarily invested and the proceeds of any investments so made are to be applied as current income”.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Activities
The charity aims to achieve its objectives by using the income from the investment portfolio to fund grants in accordance with the policy below.
Grant making policy
The charity has established its grant making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit of making grants to or for the benefit of such charitable purposes or bodies as the trustees think fit.
In accordance with the objectives under the Trust Deed the trustees do exceptionally make grants outside the preferred area.
The trustees predominantly give out grants to institutions, and they will confine their assistance, for the moment, to mainly North Yorkshire and the North East of England. On occasions The Normanby Charitable Trust makes pledges of grants on condition that the project is able to go ahead. They have, therefore, at times had to retain income to cover these pledges.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year, the investment portfolio provided income of £182,952 (2020: £297,195). Grants of £173,106 (2020: £365,454) have been made to a total of 35 (2020: 25) charitable organisations, assisting a wide variety of causes in the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The statement of financial activities is set out on page 7.
The charity had net expenditure before investment gains of £57,770 (2020 net losses: £138,538). Disposals of investments realised proceeds of £7,141,703. There were net realised gains on disposals of investments of £496,465 and net unrealised gains of £2,755,596 giving a total investment gains of £3,252,061. There was a net increase in funds in the year of £3,196,291 leaving total funds carried forward of £13,896,537.
The trustees are satisfied that the charity’s assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations.
Investment powers
There are no restrictions on the charity’s power to invest.
Investment policy
The investment strategy is set by the trustees on an annual basis and takes account of recent demands for funds and the quality of the funding applications. The trustees consider the income requirements, the risk profile and the investment manager’s view of the market prospects in the medium term. This strategy is set within an overall policy which states that funds are to be invested to maximise total return with due respect to risk.
The unrestricted funds may be invested in any type of investment. The strategy is reviewed with the investment managers annually.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level to provide sufficient funds to cover management, governance and support costs and in particular to cover the grants recommended for payment by the trustees.
The trustees maintain an expendable endowment fund. The trustees consider that the capital of the fund needs to be retained in order to produce ongoing income for charitable purposes. The trustee’s policy is to distribute income received; any income not applied is temporarily reinvested. The trustees are given discretion to apply the whole of any part of the capital of the general expendable endowment fund in accordance with the objects of the Trust Deed.
The trustees have allocated money to the designated expendable fund, so the balance is now at £171,238 (2020: £119,869), which is to be used for a significant future projects.
At 5 April 2021, the charity had general expendable non-designated funds of £13,725,299 (2020: £10,580,377) and the trustees are satisfied that these funds are available and adequate to fulfil the charity’s obligations.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The charity will continue to use the income from the investment portfolio to make grants as and when the trustees see fit.

Trustees responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and 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 of the 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 2019 (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 that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (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.

Basis of preparation
The Normanby Charitable Trust is a charity in the United Kingdom.
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 and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a true and fair view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following 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) issued October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at market value.
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.
Fund accounting
The charity maintains a general expendable endowment fund and a designated expendable endowment fund, which is to be used for a significant future project.
The endowment funds represent unexpended income and capital which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. The trustees consider that the capital of the fund needs to be retained in order to produce ongoing income for charitable purposes. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
Designated funds are expendable endowment funds designated by the trustees for particular purposes.
Income
All income is recognised in the statement of financial activities when the conditions for receipt have been met and there is reasonable assurance of receipt. Where a claim for repayment of income tax has or will be made, such income is grossed up for the tax recoverable. The following accounting policies are applied to income:
