**THE ASTOR OF HEVER TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

The trustees present their annual report on the affairs of the charity, together with the financial statements and independent examiner’s report for the year ended 5 April 2023.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 10, and comply with the requirements of the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity was formed as a trust under a trust deed dated 5 July 1955. 

## **Recruitment and appointment by trustees** 

The trustees during the year and at the date of this report are shown on page 1. 

The trust deed allows the continuing trustees to appoint additional trustees. 

## **Trustee induction and training** 

New trustees would be drawn from the family and would be supported by the experienced family trustees. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The trustees hold bi-annual trustees’ meetings at which they review the finances of the trust, the investment portfolio and consider and approve grant applications received.   The trust uses the services of a self-employed administrator to deal with the day to day running of the trust and the processing of grant payments. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the trust is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the trust, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to major risks. The trustees have formulated an investment policy to mitigate against investment risks and this is set out on page 5. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **Objectives** 

The trust fund and the income therefrom are held upon trust to apply the same for such charitable purposes as the trustees shall in their absolute discretion think fit. 

## **Activities** 

The charity aims to achieve its objectives by using the income from the investment portfolio to fund grants in accordance with the policy below.

**THE ASTOR OF HEVER TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)** 

## **Grant making policy** 

When Gavin Astor, 2nd Baron of Hever founded this trust in 1955, his main aim was to ensure donations could be made to charitable bodies in the fields of the arts, medicine, religion, education, conservation, youth and sport.  The trustees of today honour these aims and lay particular stress on supporting local youth organisations and generally helping medical research and education programmes.  Headquarters and local branches of charities, mainly established organisations, with particular emphasis on Kent are beneficiaries. As from April 2020, the Grampian region in Scotland is no longer a focussed area.  In principle donations are not normally given to individuals. 

The trust continues to receive very many more requests for donations than can possibly be met.   While it remains the policy of the trustees to review as many requests as possible the trustees do give preference to donation requests outlined in a personally written letter which is signed by a representative of the charity. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

During the year the trust received investment income of £31,798 and made grants totalling £23,350 to organisations (see note 11), assisting in a wide variety of causes. 

The trustees made no long-term pledge commitments for the year to April 2023 and have supported UK registered charities throughout the year with the focus on Kent continuing. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The statement of financial activities is set out on page 8. 

Investment income at £ 31,798 (2022: £28,152) was £3,646 higher than in the previous year.  No donations were received in the year and donations of £23,350 (2022: £23,310) were paid out. The investment portfolio showed total investment losses of £60,929 (2022: gains of £63,934). As at the balance sheet date the charitable fund was valued at £1,168,212 representing a net decrease of £78,450 on the previous year. 

The trustees are satisfied that the trust assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations. 

## **Investment powers** 

The trust deed permits the trustees to invest the capital and income of the trust as if they were beneficially entitled. 

## **Investment policy** 

The investment policy aims for a combination of income and long term capital growth with medium risk through a balanced approach to portfolio management. 

The trustees wish to achieve an income level of £35,000 per annum but hope that this can be grown over the medium to long term. 

Investments should be held according to the following benchmark: CPI (inflation + 2%) and comparison to the WMA balanced benchmark. 

The investment managers are to supply six monthly reviews including a comparison of the portfolio return in relation to the bench mark. 

The trustees will review this portfolio statement on an annual basis and will inform the investment managers of any changes in their objectives.

**THE ASTOR OF HEVER TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The original trust deed states that all donations and subscriptions should be made primarily out of income, but the trustees may apply any part of the capital of the trust fund for charitable purposes if in their absolute discretion they consider that for some special reason it is desirable to do so.  Not more than 5% of the value of the trust fund was to be so applied in any one year and the capital so applied shall be made good out of the income of the trust fund in future years. 

At a meeting of the trustees on 23 January 2023, the trustees approved a statement of reasons and application to the Charity Commission to release the restriction on expenditure of capital pursuant to the provisions of s282 to 284 Charities Act 2011. This was formally approved by the Commission on 7 March 2023. From that date, the trustees may spend the capital of the trust as if it were income. The trustees’ resolution stands as an addition to the trust deeds. 

The trustees review the level of income and reserves at six monthly trustees’ meetings and this is taken into account when setting the level of donations to be made by the trust during the forthcoming year. 

The trustees consider that the present level of reserves is sufficient for current needs. 

The above notes are a summary of the main terms of the settlement currently applicable.   The notes should be used only as an aide memoire and not as a substitute for the trust deed itself, the detailed provisions of which should always be reviewed prior to any decisions being taken by the trustees. 

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

The charity will continue to use the income from the investment portfolio to support charitable bodies in the fields of the arts, medicine, religion, education, conservation, youth and sport, particularly in Kent. As from April 2020, the Grampian region of Scotland is no longer a focussed area.

**THE ASTOR OF HEVER TRUST** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

United Kingdom law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the incoming resources and application of the resources of the charity during the year and of its state of affairs at the end of that year.  In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain its financial position and to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and the trust deed.  They 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. 

Signed on behalf of the trustees on 27 November 2023 

Lord Astor of Hever

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **THE ASTOR OF HEVER TRUST** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2023 which are set out on pages 8 to 23. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 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.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS Year ended 5 April 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), subject to any limitations due to lack of historical information. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and 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 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

## **Basis of Accounting** 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified to include fixed asset investments at market value. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The rates of depreciation are as follows: 

Office equipment 33.3% on cost 

## **Fund accounting** 

The charity’s funds are general unrestricted funds which represent unrestricted income which is expendable at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the charity.   Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All income is recognised in the statement of financial activities when the conditions for receipt have been met and there is reasonable assurance of receipt.   Where a claim for repayment of income tax has or will be made, such income is grossed up for the tax recoverable. 

## **Donations receivable** 

Donations receivable are reported gross and include any related tax recoverable. 

## **Investment income** 

Investment income is accounted for when receivable.   Tax recoverable relating to investment income is accounted for in the same period as the related income. 

## **Charitable activities** 

Charitable activities include all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity and include the following:
