The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which they consider the charity to be exposed and believe that adequate systems have been established to mitigate these risks.

COVID-19 AND GOING CONCERN

THE WENDOVER FOUNDATION (Charity Number: 267175)

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS for the year ended 5 April 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the notes to these accounts.

The accounts 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 (FRS102) (effective January 2019) (‘Charities’ SORP’), Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), and the Charities Act 2011.

The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

(b) Principal office

The charity’s principal office is c/o Leonard Jones & Co, 1 Printing House Yard, London E2 7PR.

(c) Going Concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charities ability to continue as a going concern. Review of the financial position and future plans gives the trustees confidence that the charity remains a going concern for the foreseeable future.

(d) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds comprise accumulated surpluses and deficits on general funds. They are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the charity’s objectives.

The endowment funds are held by the charity in order to generate returns to be used by the charity to meet the charitable objectives of the trust. Trustees are not required to keep these funds permanently and can at their discretion resolve to distribute capital, as well as any income arising from these funds, in order to fulfil the charity’s objectives.

(e) Investments

Investments are stated at their fair value. Listed investments are revalued annually using market value as fair value, whilst other investments will be revalued on a periodic basis.

Gains and losses on disposal are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or subsequent cost on purchase; revaluation gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are combined in the appropriate section of the Statement of Financial Activities.

(f) Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be reliably measured.

Dividends and other income from listed investments is recognised once the income has been declared by the payer and the trust has received notification of its entitlement.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification has been received of the interest paid or payable by the bank or other institution.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS for the year ended 5 April 2021 (continued)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g) Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Liabilities are recognised as expenditure when the trust has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the charitable activity of grant making.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award.

Support costs include general costs such as bank charges and governance costs. Governance costs comprise all costs relating to the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

As the trust is not VAT registered, expenditure includes irrecoverable VAT where applicable.

(h) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

(i) Financial instruments

The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

(j) Material uncertainties and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. The nature of estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. There are no judgements made that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements.

2. INVESTMENT INCOME

Investment income comprises:
