Annual Report and Unaudited Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025

Trustees' Annual Report

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 5 April 2025.

Objectives and Activities of the Charity

The Karenza Foundation is governed by a Settlement Deed dated 1 August 1972.

In accordance with the governing document, the Trustees hold the Trust Fund and the income thereof for such exclusively charitable purposes in accordance with the laws of England and Wales as they see fit.

The capital of the Trust Fund is to be retained by the Trustees and income applied to meet with the

objectives by making donations for the public benefit to charitable bodies or institutions.

Since the end of the Accumulation Period, being 21 years after the creation of the charity on 1 August 1993, income can no longer be accreted to the capital (expendable endowment) of the Trust Fund.

The Trustees aim to distribute net income arising each financial year and have the power to apply the

capital of the Fund at their discretion as they see fit in order to meet with the charity's objectives.

The charitable Trustees continue to bear in mind the settlor’s attachment to the area of Cornwall when considering opportunities to provide funding.

Achievements and Performance

Grant makings:

During the year the Trustees resolved to support the work of the Cornwall Community Foundation, as detailed in Note 7 of the notes to the accounts.

The Trustees have complied with s17(5) of Charities Act 2011 and have had due regard to the guidance issued on Public Benefit by the Charity Commission when exercising relevant powers or duties.

Financial Review

Review of the Activities of the Charity:

Income from investments and interest totalled £48,968 (£45,249 in 2024) and £5,913 (£5,508 in 2024) was spent raising the funds in the form of investment management costs. Total expended on charitable activities was £59,080 (£33,960 in 2024).

Gains / (losses) are realised on the sale and revaluation of investment assets. During the year, net losses arose totalling £80,016 (£87,368 net gains in 2024).

THE KARENZA FOUNDATION

Annual Report and Unaudited Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025

Trustees' Annual Report

There was a net decrease in funds for the year of £96,041 (£93,149 net increase in 2024).

The Trustees held funds as at 5 April 2025 totalling £1,310,434, of which £71,239 represented Unrestricted Income Funds. This compared with total funds held of £1,406,475 as at 5 April 2024 of which £81,351 represented Unrestricted Income Funds.

Reserves:

General reserves are unrestricted income funds, freely available to spend on furthering the charity's purposes. General reserves are those which remain after the Trustees have set aside amounts required for specific purposes, such as designated funds. Restricted Funds, Expendable Endowment and Permanent Endowment are excluded when Trustees consider the Reserves of the Charity.

It is not the intention of the Trustees to build up income reserves, with all funds being available for spending at the Trustees' discretion. The Trustees consider designating funds if supporting multi-year charitable projects, but all donations continue to be subject to review and approval. The Trustees liaise with the investment manager regularly to ensure they are aware of any forward commitments, which are then taken into account when managing the Charity's investments and transfers made between Expendable Endowment and Unrestricted Income as necessary. Accordingly, the Trustees consider the balance of Unrestricted Income Funds held at the financial year-end to be General Reserves.

Investments:

The Trustees have power to invest the Expendable Endowment capital funds to generate an income and to adopt appropriate investment policies as they see fit to meet with the objectives of the charity.

As there are no specific restrictions of investment powers under the governing deed, the Trustees have full discretion over the investments. The Trustees have delegated Rathbones Investment Management to have full discretionary day to day control of the investments. In accordance with the Trustee Act 2000, as this duty has been delegated, the Trustees are establishing a Policy Statement. Assets have been acquired and disposed of in accordance with the powers available to the Trustees. Most of the Trustees' capital is invested on the stock market. The value of the Trust's portfolio as at 5 April 2025 totalled £1,308,021, a decrease from £1,359,433 as at 5 April 2024. The Trustees have reviewed the position and are satisfied with the performance.

Risk Assessment

The Charity Trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems or procedures have been established in order to manage those risks. After considering the areas of governance, operation, finance, environmental and compliance the Trustees have identified that major negative fluctuations in investment assets could cause a material risk to the Charity's funds. In order to mitigate this risk and in accordance with s15 Trustee Act 2000 a Trustees' Policy Statement shall be adhered to by the Investment Manager, which will then be regularly reviewed against investment performance.

Independent Examiner's Report

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of the Karenza Foundation (264520)

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity ("the Trust") for ended 5 April 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 14.

Responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

As the charity's Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act"). You consider that an audit is not required under s144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

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. It is my responsibility 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 Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts 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 accounts present a 'true and fair' view. The report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's statement

I am a member of an approved body subject to the provisions of the Revised Ethical Standard 2024 issued by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC). Rathbones Trust Company has provided bookkeeping services in accordance with the terms of engagement signed by the Trustees and I do not report to the bookkeeper in any respect. I give due consideration to the FRC's Revised Ethical Standard 2024 at all times.

I have completed my examination and confirm that no matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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 for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE KARENZA FOUNDATION

Annual Report and Unaudited Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025

Notes to the Accounts

1 Charity Information

The Karenza Foundation is governed by a Settlement Deed dated 1 August 1972 and registered in England and Wales. The principal address is c/o Rathbones Trust Company, Port of Liverpool Building, Pier Head, Liverpool, L3 1NW.

2 Accounting Policies

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), the Charities Act 2011 and FRS102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for Charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

Going Concern

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of Going Concern is appropriate and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources and reserves to enable it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and thus the Trustees continue to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Charitable Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the charity in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Unrestricted Funds of capital have been classified as Expendable Endowment Funds in these accounts.

The charity holds Endowment Funds which are expendable and primarily for income generation. Monies are invested by the trustees into shareholdings. The Expendable Endowment fund increases or decreases in line with the investment valuation. Transfers from the Endowment fund to Unrestricted fund are made at the Trustees' discretion.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably and it is probable that income will be received.

THE KARENZA FOUNDATION

Annual Report and Unaudited Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025

Notes to the Accounts

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income Tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

All dividend income is recorded net and includes tax deducted only when it is repayable to the Charity.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation for which it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably measured as at the reporting date. A constructive obligation exists where the charity has communicated the commitment to provide particular goods, services or funding to the recipient by the reporting date and there are no conditions attached to its payment falling due after the reporting date.

Cash grants made are recognised when paid.

Provisions for liabilities must be recognised when either the timing or the amount of future expenditure required to settle the obligation is uncertain. These are distinguished separately on the balance sheet. If a transfer of resources in no longer required, provisions are reversed and charged to the SoFA.

Governance costs

Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with with regulation and good practice.

Investments

Investments held in the fund are included at their market value as follows:

Investments are classified as a fixed asset and only classified as a current asset where the intention of the trustees is to dispose of the asset and not reinvest the proceeds.

Other recognised Gains and Losses

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost and are charged or credited to the Statement Of Financial Activities in the year of disposal.

THE KARENZA FOUNDATION

Annual Report and Unaudited Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025

Notes to the Accounts

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the Balance Sheet date.

Taxation

The charity is not liable to income or capital gains tax on its charitable activities. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the asset cost or the expense to which it relates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Financial Instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classed as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Cancellation of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Notes to the Accounts

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
