TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2024. 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 1. 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 £268,415 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 107 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 principal 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 2024 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 Losses and Unrealised Gains on listed investments of £2,432 and £85,417 respectively. The listed investments held by the charity have been acquired in accordance with the powers available to the Trustees. The 5 April 2024 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.

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 £(2,003) at 5 April 2024. 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 2024 the Designated Funds amounted to £4,239,431.
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 1 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 2011, 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024
1. Accounting Policies
Charity Information
The Vivienne and Samuel Cohen Charitable Trust is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The charity’s legal form and address is shown on page 1 of the Trustees’ Report. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are shown on page 2 of the Trustees’ Report.
Basis of Preparation
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS 102) 2019 effective January 2019 as subsequently updated), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the Charities SORP for charities applying FRS 102, but which are small, not to prepare a Cash Flow Statement.
The financial statements 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 Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice 2005 which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with note 10 of the Notes to the financial statements.
Income
All income is accounted for as receivable by the charity. There were no permanent endowments received in the year (2023 - Nil).
Expenditure on Charitable Activities
Support Costs are charged on an accruals basis.
Grants are charged in the year when paid; they comprise donations to third-party institutions in accordance with the charitable objects of the charity and its public benefit objectives.
Fixed Assets - Investments
Investments are stated at market value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Funds Structure
Funds held by the charity are :-
-
(i) Designated Funds – these are funds set aside by the trustees out of Unrestricted General Funds for a specific purpose or reason.
-
(ii) Unrestricted General Funds – these are funds which are immediately available to be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Taxation
The Vivienne and Samuel Cohen Charitable Trust is a registered charity and is therefore exempt from Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
Value Added Tax
Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity and, as such, is included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
