## **THE VIVIENNE AND SAMUEL COHEN CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 7 and comply with the charity's Trust Deed and applicable law. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The trustees are named on page I. Appointment of trustees is governed by the Trust Deed of the charity. The trustees are responsible for the day to day administration of the charity and hold periodic trustees' meetings. 

The Board of Trustees is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee. The Board of Trustees ensures that the skill requirements of trustees are kept under review. New trustees, if required, are sought by recommendation from existing trustees and the required training is given by the existing trustees. 

## **Investment Powers** 

The Trust Deed authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity. Details of investments held are shown in the financial statements. 

## **Objectives and Activities for Public Benefit** 

The Charitable Trust is constituted by Trust Deed and its public benefit objectives and aims, and grant-making policy, are to apply the Trust Fund and Income thereof for general charitable purposes. 

## **Grant - Making Policy** 

The trustees meet from time to time to consider the making of charitable grants to institutions and to review any applications for grants that have been received. 

In furtherance of its public benefit objectives, during the year the charity made institutional grants of £179,711 for general charitable purposes, details of which are shown in note 3 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. The policy of the charity is to continue to apply the Trust Fund for general charitable purposes, as specified in the Trust Deed, for public benefit. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory. During the year the charity made 103 institutional grants for the aforesaid general charitable purposes in support of the public benefit activities of those institutions. 

Other than the Board of Trustees, the charity is not dependent upon the services of unpaid volunteers, donations­ in-kind or other intangible income. 

## **Financial Review** 

The principle source of income is investment income. 

Details of expenditure on charitable activities are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 5 of the financial statements. Expenditure incurred during the year related to Charitable Grants, and Support Costs (Governance Costs) necessary in relation to the charity's activities. 

The charity's assets are held for the purpose of making Grants for general charitable purposes as specified in the Trust Deed dated 1 November 1965 and the Board of Trustees consider that the financial position of the charity at 5 April 2021 is satisfactory to enable it to continue to make such Grants. 

During the year Close Brothers Asset Management continued as Investment Managers of the charity's listed investments. During the year there were Realised Gains and Unrealised Gains on listed investments of £24,952 and£ 1,020,132 respectively. The listed investments held by the charity have been acquired in accordance with the powers available to the Trustees. The 5 April 2021 value of the listed investments has been substituted for their historical cost and details are shown in note 5 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

## **THE VIVIENNE AND SAMUEL COHEN CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves which are those unrestricted funds not invested in Fixed Assets. It is the policy of the charity to maintain free reserves at a level considered adequate to provide sufficient funds to enable it to meet its charitable commitments as they fall due; the free reserves amounted to £(20,328) at 5 April 2021. Designated Funds have been created up to an amount equivalent to the value of Fixed Assets held, as these represent funds not immediately available for charitable grants; at 5 April 2021 the Designated Funds amounted to £4,477,552. 

## **Future Plans** 

The charity intends to continue making institutional grants for the aforementioned charitable purposes, as specified in the Trust Deed, for public benefit. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have reviewed the affairs of the charity and do not consider that there are any major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces other than in relation to the holding of the charity's listed investments and in order to lessen such risks the trustees previously appointed Investment Managers who periodically review the investments held and report to the trustees with their recommendations in regard thereto. 

## **Going Concern** 

There are no uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern as indicated in note 10 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible under the law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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) for preparing a Trustees' Annual Report and financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's income and expenditure during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:- 

- (a) select suitable accounting policies, as described in note I of the Notes to the Financial Statements, and apply them consistently; 

- (b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- (c) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- (d) state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- (e) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation, and on the accruals concept. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 201 I, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. The trustees 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. 

Amounts are presented within items in the Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or practice, the trustees having had regard to the substance of the reported transaction or arrangement. 

The trustees have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commissioners, including public benefit objectives. The activities undertaken for public benefit are as hereinbefore described. 

## **Approved** 

This report was approved by the trustees on 31 December 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

**THE VIVIENNE AND SAMUEL COHEN CHARITABLE TRUST FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE VIVIENNE AND SAMUEL COHEN CHARITABLE TRUST** 

I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2021, set out on pages 5 to 15. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner** 

As described on pages 2 and 3, the charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Trustees' Annual Report and financial statements. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity has prepared "accruals basis" financial statements. I am qualified to undertake the independent examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. It is my responsibility to:- 

- examine the financial statements (under Section 145 of the 2011 Act); 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a "true and fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:- 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- • the financial statements did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the financial statements did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form in content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a "true and fair view" which is not considered part of an independent examination. 

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. 

## **Use of this report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the independent examiner's statement.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).

## **8. Unrestricted Funds** 

The Designated Fixed Assets Funds represents the Net Book Value of Fixed Assets and have been created as these represent funds not immediately available for charitable grants. Each year an amount is transferred to or from these funds which represents the movement in the Net Book Value of Fixed Assets in the period. 

## **9. Related Party Transactions** 

There were no Related Party Transactions in the year (2020- Nil). 

## **10. Going Concern** 

The Trustees have assessed whether the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements continues to be appropriate based upon whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. This assessment has been required in the light of the significant uncertainty around the short to medium term impact of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. 

In the event of a significant future decline in the value of the charity's listed investments and/or its investment income thereon, this may result in a reduction in the level of charitable grants to institutions that the charity is normally able to make. 

At the time of approving the financial statements the trustees believe that all appropriate measures will be taken to ensure that the charity will be able to continue its operations for a least the next twelve months and thus conclude that the going concern basis remains appropriate.
