## **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 £330,472 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 120 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.

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 2025 is satisfactory to enable it to continue to make such Grants.

During the year there were Realised Gains and Unrealised Losses on listed investments of £82,234 and £244,886 respectively.

## **FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025**
## **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 2025, set out on pages 5 to 11.
## **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 VIVIENNE AND SAMUEL COHEN CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025**
## 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 (2024 - 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.
