January 2024. Robin was a passionate and philanthropic man who was oppointed a trustee on 22
November 1977 and then became Chairman in 1984. During his h)nE and successful tenure, the Trust
awarded grants and donations of more than £46m whlch have posltively impacted the environment,
indivlduals as well as many causes and campaigns important to him. Robin was recognised for services
to charlty wf(h an OBE in 2014.
50th Anniversary

Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The alms of the Trust are to fund a wide range of aclNities that will p05ttively impact individuals and
the environment. We award a number of grant5 per annum to organisations that both share these
aspirations and have the ability to deliver on their programmes.
For disclosure purposes grants are categorised under the follcwing headings.
Medlcine and Health
Education and The Arts
Social Welfare
The Environment and Wlldlife
The trustees conflrm that they have referred to the Charlty Commission's guidance on publlc benefft
when reviewin8 the Trust'5 aiffls and objertives, in planning future activtlies, and setting grant making
policy.
M05t of the grants are made to reglstered charitie5 and SQ the trustees are confident they will further
charitable purpose to the publK benefit. On the few occasions where grants are made to non-
registered charitable organisations the trustees considercarefully how the funds will be used and make
those grants with conditions to ensure they are spent appropriately.
The trustees seek feedback on the actual use of the grants given, on how the grant was spent and
achievements made. This approach is considered sufficient for monitoring the quality of the grants
made. ID any grant making there is always a necessary degree of trust that the applicatlon is honest
and that the recipiènt will use the funds wisety. A personal knowledge of the recipient of ihe larger
grants Is therefore a key part of the Trust's approach to 8rant making.
The trustees have decided to gNe annual support to a number of charities and proactively seek out
certain projects. Thls restrirts the ￿ndS available for general applications and as such the Trust is
closed to unsolicited applications.

going concern basls of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no

Auditor'5 responsibilities for the audit of the flnanclal statements
We have been appointed as audr(ors under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in
actordance wlth the Art and relevant regulations made or having effèct thereunder.
Our objettives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financlal stalements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a hi8h level of assurance but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it
exlsls. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerrorand are consIde￿d material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to Influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud, are Instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line wlth our ￿sponSibl11t1es, outlirbed above, to detett material mi55tatements in
respect of irregularitles, Sncludlng fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detectin8
Irregularlties, including fraud, is detailed below.
A further description of our responsibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statements Is located on the
Flnancial ReportinB Counclfs website at.. http://www.frc.org.uVauditorsresponsibilities. This
desttiption fom)s part of our auditor's ￿port.
Extent to which the audit was considered Capable of detecting irregularitie5, in<luding fraud
We identify and assess the risk5 of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including
obtaSning audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and addressing risks of material misstatement In respect of irregularities, intluding fraud
and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
10

THE UNDERWOOD TRUST
We obtained an understanding of laws and regulatk)ns that affect the charity, focvsing on
those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that ha(1 a fundamental effect on
rls operations. Key laws and re8ulations that we identified included the Charlties Act 2011 and
appllcable accountlng standards.
We enquired of the trustees and reviewed trustee meetinE minutes for evidence of non-
compliance wf(h relevant laws and regulatlons. We also reviewed contro15 the trustees have
in place to ensure compllance.
We gained an understanding of the controls that the trustees have in plate to prevent and
detect fraud. We enquired of the trustees about any incidences of fraud that had taken place
during the accountlng period.
The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws an(1 regulatiorbs and fraud was discussed wlthln
the audlt team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. We identrfied
the potential for frau(l in the followlnE area: misappropriation of cash and other assets.
We crltlcally reviewed judgements and provisions included wlthln ihe financial statements and
examined the associated cut-off issues.
We reviewed finantial statements disclosures and tested to supportin8 documentation to
assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed al)ove.
We erwuired of the trustees about actual and potential litigatlon and claims.
We obtalned independent confirrnatlons from your bank regardlng balance5 at the year-end
in addition to any outstan(Iln8 charges.
We perfomied analytical procedure5 to identify any unusual or unexperted relationships that
might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
In addresslng the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the
appropriatenes5 of journal entrie5 and assessed whether the judgements made In making
accounting estlmates were indicative of a potential bias.
Dije to the Inherent limitation5 of an audit, there Is an unavoldable risk that we may not have deterted
some material mlsstatement5 in the finantial statements. even though we have properly planned and
performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there
remained a higher risk of non-detectlon of irregularitie5. as these may involve collusion, for8eryi
intentlonal omission5, misrepresentation5. orthe override of internal controls. We are not responsible
for preventing fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect
all fraud and non-compliance wlth laws and regulations.
Other matter
Your attentlon Is drawn to the fart that the charity has prepared financial statement5 in accordance
with "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practlce applitable to
charities preparlnB their financial statements in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Standard
appllcable In the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 in preference to the Accounting and Reportlng

266164, accepted on 31 August 1973.
Basis of preparation and going concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the hLstorical cost conventknn, as
modified by the revaluation of fixed asset investments, and in accordance with the Charf(ies
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 IFRS 102) leffective l January 20191"
The financlal statements have departed from the Charlties (Accounts and Reportsl
Regulations 2LK18 only to the extent required to provide a trije 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 Prnctice which is referred to
In the Regulations. but which has since been withdrawn.
The trust constltutes a publlc benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
At the tirne of approving the account5. the trustees have a reasonable expertation that the
charity has adequate resources to continue in operational exlstence for the foreseeable
future. Thu5, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparlng the attounts.
With respertto the next reportirg period, the most5ignlficant areas o* uncertalntythat affect
the carrying value of assets held by the Trust are the level of investment rèturn and the
performance of Investment markets (see the investment strategy and risk seLlion in the
trustees, annual report for more information).

recovered. All expenses including 5UPPOrt C05t5 and governance costs are allocated or
apportioned to the appllcable expenditijre headings.
Support costs are allocated to the artivities elther by dlrect attribution or an estimate of

prlce. All gain5 and 105ses, both realised and unreali5ed. are taken to the Statement of
FlnancSal Activtties as they arise.
Unlisted investments are initlally measured at cost and subsequentty measured at C05t I

Debtors and creditors
Short term debtors are measured at Iran5artion price, less any impairment. Short term
treditors are measured at the transactlon prlce, net of transartlon costs. Subsequent to
initlal recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,
less any impairnient losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction, for example rf payment ￿ deter￿d beyond nomial buslness terms,
then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of
Interest for a slmilar debt instrument.

Contingent liabilities
A contin8ent liabiltly is identified and disclosed for those grants r@sU￿1ng from:
a posslble obligation which will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly withln the trustees, control,. or
a present obligation following a grant offer where settlement Is either not
eonsidered probable,. or
the amount has not been communlcated in the grant offer and that amount cannot
be estimated reliably
Taxation

gains where they are applied for charitable purposes.
Accounting e5timate5 and judgements
In the application of the Trust's accountlng pollcies, the trustees are requlred to make
judgements, estlmates and assumption5 about the carrying amount of asset5 and liabilities
that are nol 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 estlmates and underlyirsg assumptions are reviewed on an ongolnB basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recogni5ed In the period in which the estimate is revised where the
revision affecls only that period. or in the period of the revision and future periods where
the reVis￿n affect5 b￿h current and future periods.
