THE EVELYN NORRIS TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the trust for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the trust deed, applicable law and the requirements of the Charities SORP (FRSSE) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (the FRSSE) (effective 1 January 2015).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The income of the trust is applied for the purpose of distributing monies for the rest, recovery, recreation and holiday of members of the concert and theatrical professions as the trustees shall think fit.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commissioners’ guidance on public benefit. They consider that the welfare payments made to beneficiaries of the fund fulfil the public benefit requirement.

The trustees receive monthly briefings and consider what grants to make. The trustees have many contacts in the United Kingdom and use knowledge gained to support the work of the charity and ensure informed grant making.

The trustees decide to make grants after receipt and assessment of a formal application, indicating a need for funds.

The trustees appreciate feedback on the effect of the grants given and the achievements made. These comments are used to monitor the quality of the grants made.

The trustees intend to continue providing grants in a similar way and to rely on both their own endeavours and those with whom they have a working relationship to carry out the objects of the trust.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The trust was established by deed on 11 September 1968 and is subject to a variation approved by the Charity Commissioners on 13 November 1986.

The trust is based in the United Kingdom at the registered office shown on page 1.

The power to appoint any new trustee is vested in the existing trustees whose names are set out on page 1.

The trustees conduct a risk assessment annually to review the major risks faced by the trust. The trustees are aware of the risks associated with making repeated grants to beneficiaries. Procedures have been instituted to reduce risk in this area.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

68 (2021: 28) individual grants and two (2021: two) institutional donations were made by the trust during 2022.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The funds of the charity have decreased by £191,085 (2021: increased by £223,457) arising from losses on investments during the year. An analysis of the assets held by the fund, the majority of which consists of an investment portfolio, is set out in note 8 to the accounts. Regular investment review meetings are held with the investment advisers.

THE EVELYN NORRIS TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The charity’s trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of the incoming resources and resources expended during the financial year.

In doing so the trustees are required to:

The trustees are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with relevant legislation. 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.

The trustees confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charity’s independent examiner is unaware. They have taken all the steps that they should have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity’s independent examiner is aware of that information.

THE EVELYN NORRIS TRUST

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE EVELYN NORRIS TRUST

I report on the financial statements of the trust for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 12.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

As described on page 3 the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

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 a 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 you as 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. The report is made solely to the trustees and is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. To the fullest extent permitted by law I do not accept or assume responsibility to any one other than the trustees for my work, for this report or for the opinions I have formed.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention:

b to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

THE EVELYN NORRIS TRUST

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the valuation of investments at market value and in accordance with the requirements of the Charities SORP (FRSSE) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (the FRSSE) (effective 1 January 2015).

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: -

Income and Endowments

Income is recognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. In the case of fixed interest investments, interest is accrued based on the number of days outstanding.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Governance costs represent costs incurred attributable to the management of the charity’s assets, organisation, administration and compliance with the constitutional and statutory requirements.

Fund Accounting

Funds held by the charity comprise an endowment fund the income from which, subject to the value of the endowment fund not falling below its established value of £333,616, is transferred to an unrestricted fund and can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.

2 DONATIONS AND RELATED PARTIES

The charity is a member of the Combined Theatrical Charities’ Appeals Council, a registered charitable organisation. One trustee represents the charity at meetings of the Council. During the year the charity received £15,000 (2021: £NIL) from the Council as a share of donations collected in an appeal known as ‘Acting for Others’.
