The Samuel Gardner Memorial Trust Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 05 April 2022
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 05 April 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the trust are to apply trust assets towards:
-
the advancement of music and musical education generally
-
support for the arts and heritage
Our first priority is to support music education projects which show lasting legacy and quality, and are centred on learning and participation, music in healthcare, young people's musical development, and inclusiveness. As a subsidiary strand we consider applications which address the preservation of the natural environment.
The trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Grantmaking
The trustees have agreed that their grant making will generally, but not necessarily exclusively, be restricted to the music and arts fields, with an emphasis on the encouragement of young people.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Significant activities
The trustees meet the charitable objectives by giving grants to applicants whose objectives and activities match those of the charity.
Achievements against objectives
Total grants awarded in the year, net of previously awarded but now written back, were £40,000 (2021 : £44,750). 16 out of 50 applications were successful.
The trustees were pleased to support a range of applications from charities undertaking important work in the fields of music education and performance, and arts in healthcare and social care settings. They were heartened to observe the resilience and commitment of these organisations to maintain their mission in challenging circumstances when emerging from the Covid 19 pandemic, and to show imagination and resourcefulness.
Investment performance
In accordance with the trust deed, the trustees have the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property in the UK as they see fit. The policy is is to adopt a medium risk investment strategy based on maximising income.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves
It is the policy of the charity to as far as possible equate grants to available income and to make grants in excess of the income available by making payments from the expendable endowment fund only in exceptional circumstances. The trustees intend to expend less than the income in any one year only when applications fall short of income available or when it is anticipated that future applications are likely to exceed income.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Trustees are appointed and removed by the body of trustees which shall be no fewer than five nor more than eleven.
New trustees are recruited by current trustees.
Induction and training of new trustees The Chair is responsible for the induction of new trustees.

The Samuel Gardner Memorial Trust Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees
For the year ended 05 April 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 05 April 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiners statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Samuel Gardner Memorial Trust Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 05 April 2022
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011.
The Samuel Gardner Memorial Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Going concern
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
Statement of cash flows
The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in SORP FRS 102 from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the charity is small.
Funds
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
The expendable endowment fund represents those assets which are held for the charity, principally investments which the trustees may convert to expendable income. Income arising on the endowment fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included in the unrestricted income. Gains or losses arising on investments are credited to or charged against the endowment fund respectively. Investment management fees are charged against the endowment fund.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Investments
Investments are stated at their market value at the year end. The market value of quoted securities is based on the middle market quotation on the relevant Stock Exchange.
