Miss V L Clore’s 1967 Charitable Trust

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 5 April 2022

The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2022.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the charity's trust deed and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Objectives and activities

Purposes and aims

The charity was established, and is governed, by a charitable trust deed on 25 August 1967. The deed states that the Trustees shall from time-to-time make donations from the income of the Trust for the benefit of such charity or charities as selected at their absolute discretion. Any income at 5 April not paid out by the following 31 March becomes due to the Clore Duffield Foundation.

The original settlement comprised £100,000 and terminates on 25 August 2047 or any earlier 5 April where the Trust funds have fallen below £1,000.

Capital of up to one tenth of the value at the previous year end (one half after the settlor's death) may also be distributed. On termination funds become due to the Clore Duffield Foundation if the Trustees do not exercise their discretion in favour of other charities.

The settlor, Dame Vivien Louise Duffield DBE, is at liberty to make donations without consulting her co-Trustees and without limit except that they should not exceed £500 for any one charity in any one year.

The Trust aims to achieve its objectives by using the income from the investment portfolio and bank deposits to fund grants in accordance with the policy above.

The Trustees 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 its future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Achievements and performance

All its charitable activities are undertaken to further the Trust’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.

During the year, donations totalling £43,383 (2021: £35,296) were made to a total of eight (2021: four) charitable organisations, assisting a variety of causes including arts and heritage.

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 5 April 2022

Financial review

At the year end the statement of financial activities shows a gain on investment assets of £108,110 (2021: £378,261 gain).

Income from investments was £62,108 (2021: £47,094).

Reserves policy and going concern

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, administration and governance costs and, in particular, to cover grants recommended for payment by the Trust.

As at 5 April 2022, the Charity had unrestricted funds of £2,103,399 (2021: £1,980,275). The Trustees consider this adequate to cover all anticipated expenditure in the coming years.

The Trust will continue to use the income from the investment portfolio and bank deposits to make donations as and when the Trustees see fit.

Investment policy

There are no restrictions on the Charity's power to invest.

The investment strategy is set by the Trustees and takes account of the recent demand 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 the funds be invested in low and medium risk investments with a view to ensuring that capital appreciation of the fund exceeds inflation. The unrestricted funds may be invested in any type of investment.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, particularly those related to the operations and finances of the Trust. The Trustees have given consideration to the appropriate policies, procedures and systems to mitigate the charity's exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

The organisation is an unincorporated charity registered as a charity on 11 September 1967 in England and Wales.

The charity is constituted under a trust deed dated 25 August 1967.

All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

Miss V L Clore’s 1967 Charitable Trust

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 5 April 2022

The Trust Deed allows continuing Trustees to appoint additional Trustees up to a maximum of four people.

The Trustees meet twice a year to award grants, review the investment portfolio and discuss the administration of the Trust.

Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees

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 period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and:

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. 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 Trustees’ annual report has been approved by the Trustees on 24 November 2022 and signed on their behalf by

Dame Vivien Duffield DBE Chairman

Miss V L Clore's 1967 Charitable Trust

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 5 April 2022

1 Accounting policies

a) Statutory information

Miss V L Clore's 1967 Charitable Trust is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

The registered office address and principal place of business is Studio 3, Chelsea Manor Studios, Flood Street, London, SW3 5SR.

b) Basis of preparation

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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

In applying the financial reporting framework, the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. 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. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below.

c) Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

e) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

f) Interest and dividends receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit and dividends from investments are included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank or investment manager.

Miss V L Clore's 1967 Charitable Trust

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 5 April 2022

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Grants payable are made to third parties in furtherance of the charity's objects. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and that any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the charity.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

l) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
