Trustees' Annual Report
The Trustees of the Spurrell Charitable Trust have pleasure in submitting their Annual Report and Financial Statements in respect of the year ended 5 April 2025.
Objectives and Activities of the Charity
In accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Trustees have complete discretion over the application of the capital and income funds of the Trust towards wholly charitable purposes or institutions, including the founding thereof.
To further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit, the Trustees make grants and aim to distribute net
annual income arising. The Trustees meet annually to consider and agree donations to be made.
The Trustees hold Unrestricted Funds and so all funds are available to meet the charity's objectives. The Charity's incoming resources are mainly generated by its investment assets, with additional fund raising activities not normally being carried out.
The Trustees confirm that there have been no changes to the charity's objectives during the year.
Grant making policy
The charity supports registered UK charities only. The Trustees will not consider applications from Community Interest Companies, not-for-profit organisations or from individuals seeking sponsorship for educational and research travel or fund raising.
The Trustees consider applications from national charities, including Scotland if they operate across the UK. The Trustees have resolved to give preference to purposes and organisations in the County of Norfolk.
The Trust supports a wide range of charities but aims to address the root cause of problems, rather than provide funding towards projects focussing on after care services such as counselling.
All applications which meet the criteria listed will be considered at the Annual Trustee Meeting in September. Successful applicants are paid by bank transfer shortly thereafter. No correspondence will be entered into and unsuccessful applicants should not re-apply for a minimum of 2 years.
Grants awarded are usually in the sum of £1,000. Larger grants are only made for charities in the following
circumstances:
-
Those which a current Trustee has identified and all Trustees are in agreement with.
-
Those which align with the original wishes of our benefactor.

Trustees' Annual Report
Achievements and Performance
Grants
During the year grants were made to 35 organisations (39 in 2024) totalling £90,050 (£91,000 in 2024). A full list of the donations made is shown within the notes to these accounts.
The Trustees are pleased to have met with their objective to donate the entirety of the net income received
during the year. The Trustees also donated unrestricted capital funds.
The Trustees confirm they complied with the duty in s17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's Public Benefit guidance when exercising any relevant powers or duties, including reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy.
Investments
The performance of the fund is monitored against a bespoke benchmark agreed by the Trustees annually. The Investment Manager provides regular reports to the Trustees, who review the performance of the The Trustees have established a Policy Statement, which is referenced when reviews are carried out.
Financial Review
Income and interest from investments totalled £87,393 (£82,228 in 2024) with £13,295 (£12,882 in 2024) being used to generate such funds. Expenditure on charitable activities totalled £93,952 (£96,999 in 2024). Net investment losses totalled £104,504 (£127,359 gains in 2024) resulting in a net decrease in funds for the year of £124,358 (£99,706 increase in 2024).
As at the financial year-end the Trustees held £3,059,482 of funds, compared with £3,183,840 as at 5 April 2024. All funds remained available for use at the Trustees' discretion.
Investments and Investment Policies
The value of the Trust's investment portfolio as at the financial year-end totalled £2,934,179 a decrease from from £3,130,099 as at 5 April 2024.
The Trust's capital is invested in marketable investments or held in cash. There are no specific restrictions under the governing deed. Their objectives are to secure a reasonable growth in income consistent with the long term preservation of capital in real terms. The objectives are reviewed annually.
The Trustees wish to ensure that the objectives outlined above are achieved with an acceptable risk. This implies the need for diversification of investment of the Trust to include a range of assets, including fixed interest stocks, UK and overseas shares.
Investments comprise holdings in UK, large overseas listed companies, unit and investment trusts, including those investing in major international markets and also fixed interest securities. The portfolio can therefore include a proportion of medium-sized or smaller UK companies and has exposure to international markets.

Trustees' Annual Report
Assets have been acquired and disposed of in accordance with the powers available to the Trustees.
The Trustees operate within the constraints applying to trusts governed by the Trustee Act 2000.
The Trustees have reviewed the performance of the investments during the year and consider it to be satisfactory.
Reserves
The investments provide a relatively secure and predictable stream of income from which grants are made. The Trustees aim to distribute a large percentage of income, net of expenses, in each financial year and therefore do not maintain a specific level of income reserves. The level of Unrestricted Funds held as free reserves is reviewed by the Trustees at their meetings to ensure they are able to meet with their current objectives. The charity had no long-term commitments as at the Balance Sheet date.
Structure, governance and management
The Spurrell Charitable Trust (registration no: 267287) is an unincorporated trust created by Mrs G. V. K. Spurrell. Its governing body are the Trustees of a Deed dated 6 April 1960.
The power of appointing new Trustees is vested in the then current Trustees. Trustees are selected due to their connection with the current Trustees in accordance with their skills, experience and understanding of the obligations imposed on such an appointment.
The Trustees meet at least annually to review investment performance, income levels, applications for
and the financial statements.
The charity does not undertake any fundraising activities to support its work. Its only income-generating is the management of investments, which provides an income yield. While the charity does not actively seek donations, it is able to accept them.
The Trustees ensure they are operating within the current guidelines by discussing any matters arising from updated Charity Commission practice and guidelines and, along with their own reading, they take advice from Rathbones Trust Company Ltd.
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, operational, financial, 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 the Trustees have agreed investment policies to be adhered to by the Investment Manager. A Policy Statement is in place and is reviewed at least once a year in line with investment performance.

Trustees' Annual Report
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities for the annual accounts
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting polices and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles set out in the Charities SORP (FRS 102), as updated;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees have assessed the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and considered any material uncertainties that may impact this assessment.
The Trustees are responsible for:
-
keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity;
-
ensuring compliance with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the Trust Deed;
-
safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities;
-
maintaining appropriate systems of internal control and risk management; and
-
ensuring that digital records and electronic filings comply with statutory requirements.
Declaration
The Trustees confirm that they have approved the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements above and satisfied that the charity has adequate assets available to fulfil its obligations and that the accounts comply current statutory requirements

Independent Examiner's Report
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of the Spurrell Charitable Trust (267287)
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity ("the Trust") for the year ended 5 April 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.
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:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records, or
-
the accounts did not comply with 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 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 for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Accounting Convention
These accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis and going concern basis, and in accordance with the accounting policies set out in this note. The accounts comply with 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 (FRS 102)" (second edition October 2019) (the Charities SORP) and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
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 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.

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have assessed whether there are any material uncertainties casting doubt as to whether the charity will continue as a going concern. The Trustees have concluded they have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt the 'going concern' basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

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.
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.

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 paid or 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.
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 consist of those costs associated with the overall running of the charity and meeting statutory and regulatory requirements.
Grants are included in the financial statements when approved by the Trustees and notified to recipients. value of committed grants unpaid at the year end is accrued. Grants offered that are subject to have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

-
(a) Listed securities are valued at the mid market value ruling at the balance sheet date.
-
(b) Listed securities held in foreign currencies have been valued at the mid market value and translated into their sterling equivalents at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date.
-
(c) Gilts are valued at the mid market value ruling at the Balance Sheet date and include interest that has accrued up to that date.
Investments are classified as a fixed asset except when 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.
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.

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.

2 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.
