The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in 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 from 1 January 2019).
The legal and administrative information page forms part of this report.
Objectives and activities
The summary of the objectives as stated in the Trust Deed are:
Trust fund 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
future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
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, although will occasionally make exceptions for individuals, and they will confine their assistance, for the moment, to mainly 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.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Trust should undertake.

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, f 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.
Achievements and performance
During the year, the investment portfolio provided income of £208,272 (2024: £202,037). Grants of £102,727 (2024: £192,914) have been made to a total of 43 (2024: 32) charitable organisations, assisting a wide variety of causes in the year.
Financial Review
The statement of financial activities is set out on page 10.
The charity had net income before investment gains/losses of £60,183 (2024: £131,205 net expenditure). There were net realised gains on disposals of investments of £2,156,475 (2024: £238,600) and net unrealised losses of £3,380,248 (2024: £1,437,033 unrealised gains) giving a total investment loss of £1,223,773 (2024: £1,675,633 gain). There was a net decrease in funds in the year of £1,163,590 (2024: increase of £1,544,428) leaving total funds carried forward of £13,844,902 (2024: £15,008,492).
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 a designated sink fund. The trustees consider that the designated sink fund needs to be retained in order to maintain an ongoing reserve of funds for charitable purposes. The income goes into the sink fund (for potential distribution on a bigger project, should the need arise). The trustees usually spend most or all of the spendable part of the income at each meeting. The trustees are given discretion to apply the whole of any part of the capital of the Trust fund in accordance with the objects of the Trust Deed.
The trustees have allocated money to the designated fund, so the balance is now at £309,981 (2024: £174,399), which is to be used to fund grants for significant future projects. £nil was utilised during the year (2024: £116,601).
At 5 April 2025, the charity had general non-designated funds of £13,534,921 (2024: £14,834,093) and

Investment powers
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to major risks. The trustees have formulated an investment policy to mitigate investment risks.
Plans for future periods
The charity will continue to make the investment portfolio work to ensure grants are issued when the trustees see fit.
Structure, governance and management
The charity was formed under a Trust Deed dated 31 March 1966.
The power to appoint new or additional trustees is vested in the settlors during their joint lives and thereafter in the survivors of them.
The trustees meet two or three times a year to award grants, review the investment portfolio and discuss the administration of the charity.
New trustees would be supported by the experienced trustees and on induction would be provided
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 Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102);
-
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; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that 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, applicable accounting regulations 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.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Normanby Charitable Trust for the year ended 5 April 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
at 5 April 2025 and of its incoming
-
resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report..
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we
Page 6
Normanby Charitable Trust
Independent auditors report to the trustees For the year ended 5 April 2025
identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Other matter
The comparatives for the year ended 5 April 2024 were unaudited.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
with the financial statements; or
-
the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
page 4-5, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so
We have been appointed as auditors under the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
Page 7
Normanby Charitable Trust
Independent auditors report to the trustees For the year ended 5 April 2025
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.
Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities:
fraud might occur, including through discussions with the trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the charity by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding of the sector in which the charity operates.
Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the charity include the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Audit response to risks identified:
We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement potential material misstatements arising.
During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

During the year, £27,501 (2024: £70,767) was paid to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, of which Lady Peronel Cruz was a Trustee during the year. In addition, Richard Kornicki, the husband of Trustee Lepel Kornicka, also served as a Trustee of the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. At the year end, the Trust have committed to pay a total of £18,334 to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum over the next financial year (2024: £27,500) .
17. Prior year adjustment
grants totalling £68,334 should have been recognised as grant financial statements. These commitments were previously not recognised as liabilities as per the Charities SORP (FRS 102), which requires liabilities to be recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive obligation.
To correct this, a prior year adjustment has been made as follows:
-
Increase in creditors grants payable at 5 April 2024: £68,334
-
Increase in grants payable (note 6) at 5 April 2024: £68,334
-
Decrease in unrestricted funds brought forward at 5 April 2024: £68,334
This adjustment ensures compliance with the accruals basis of accounting and more been restated accordingly in the Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet.
