Objectives and activities
The Trust was formed to encourage education in marketing, to provide relief to any person in necessitous circumstances who is or has been a Member of the Worshipful Company of Marketors and to make grants to any charitable association established for educational or other charitable purposes in the City of London or elsewhere. The Trustees annually review the charitable activities the Trust undertakes and consider new opportunities for giving, putting in place measurable KPIs on any major new expenditure.
The Trust has a continuing programme of support by way of donations to selected charities including, St. B Church (associated with the Company), charities supported by Appeal, those connected with the Corporation of the City of London and relief of Liverymen and Freemen in necessitous circumstances.
Legal and charitable status
The Trust is constituted under a trust deed dated 12 October 1976 and is a registered charity (no.272339).
Financial review
The financial results for the year are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 11.
This year, an exceptional donation of £629,266 representing the net assets of the Martyn Davis Charitable Trust (Charity no: 1140656) has been recognised in the financial statements.

The funds transferred are held by the t
the management and administrative costs of the Trust, between Education and Charities.
The Trustees met four times during the year including one meeting in person.

Financial review (continued)
Education
The Trust has established links with a wide range of universities, colleges of higher education and schools in the UK. The Trustees review each year a range of existing and potential awards to students undertaking studies associated with marketing.
The educational awards and prizes given by the Trustees are set out in note 8 to the financial statements. These
amounted to £8,435 (2020: £2,540).
As noted above, donations this year include an exceptional donation from the Martyn Davis Charitable Trust of £629,266. These funds are held in a restricted fund, the Martyn Davis Educational Bursary Fund, for the granting of scholarships to the Harvard Business School Advanced Management Program once every five years.
Charity
The Trustees each year receive and review a wide range of appeals. Their policy is generally to support appeals
the City of London.
During the period the Trust made donations to charitable causes amounting to £40,110 (2020: £29,110) as set
out in note 10 to the financial statements.
The Trustees also consider appeals for assistance to Liverymen, Freemen and their families who are in need, usually on the advice of the Company Almoners.
During the period the Trustees provided hardship grants of £2,400 (2020: £1,200) to the widow of a former
Liveryman as set out in note 9 to the financial statements.
A separate Hardship Fund was set up by the Trust during 2020 specifically to assist any member of the Worshipful Company of Marketors who had fallen into financial difficulty due to Covid. The Trust put aside £80,000 and a communications and marketing plan was rolled out to promote the availability of this hardship fund to members of the Company. As at the date of this report there have been no drawdowns on this fund. The fund remains open but £50,000 of the £80,000 has been returned to our investment account with Evelyn Partners.
Donors
The Trust is reliant for its voluntary income on regular donations (mostly by direct debit and with gift aid) from members of the Worshipful Company of investments. The Trustees regularly seek to increase the number of members of the Company contributing. The Trustees take this opportunity to thank all those who have made donations to the Trust during the year.

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Plans for future periods
In the autumn of 2021, the Trustees undertook a survey of the members of the Worshipful Company of Marketors to see what they would like us to focus on. The results from more than 150 respondents (nearly one third of all members) suggested that focus should be on creating opportunities for people who struggle to access marketing as a career, supporting apprenticeship schemes and to look at larger, longer term giving rather than than just being one of many donors. There was also a strong focus on increasing our annual giving amounts rather than building up reserves any further.
The Trustees have taken this feedback and built it into a 2022-23 plan that will see giving compared to previous years altered as follows:
-
Expansion of the partnership with the Company to increase the impact of the Charity Marketing Grants programme. In 2022 we are looking to substantially increase this funding. We believe this is a concept we can own, which combines support for the disadvantaged with promoting the benefits of marketing.
-
Expansion of giving to long term youth projects. As an example we are looking to expand our partnership with Unloc, a youth enterprise charity with the following aims:
-
To challenge stereotypes of careers in business and the marketing sector through rolemodelling
-
Trusts ambition to give back to society
-
Investigating the options to work with an external partner to fund (but not run) apprenticeships.
The Trust will still continue much of our more traditional giving:
-
Armed services donations to be made within limits of our charitable objects, in that it must be related to an armed forces charitable activity
-
Marketing industry donations, although we will review these for effectiveness on an annual basis
-
We will also of course continue one of our core remits to provide hardship grants as necessitated by member requests through the Company almoner.

How is money dispersed
A list of the charities that the Trust aims to support each year is maintained by the Trust Secretary. Each year this is reviewed by the Trustees and they consider if it is appropriate to keep the charities on the list and whether there are any other causes that should be added. The Chairman of the Trust prepares, after reviewing applications, for the consideration of the Trustees a schedule of awards and sponsorship that he feels should be considered by the Trustees. The Trustees meet regularly, and at each meeting consider any requests that have come be

Investment Policy
Evelyn
Partners.
an increasing level of income to fund the approximate level of expenditure envisaged by the Trustees in accordance The Trustees have established a formal benchmark of UK RPI + 3% measured over rolling five-year periods. Evelyn Partners are tasked to deliver an annual income of approximately £28,000. They are not constrained by any social, environmental or ethical considerations. The Trustees believe that the the level of risk agreed between the Trust and its advisors. Overall the portfolio should provide the opportunity for capital and income growth to meet the objectives of the Trust and should provide some protection against inflation.

Investment Policy (continued)
investments on a regular basis.
broadly in line with the markets. The investments at the end of the year was £1,631,718 (2020: £838,498). Investments with a value of £618,568 were donated by the Martyn Davis Charitable Trust on 19 November 2021.
Reserve policy
The Trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves, which are unrestricted reserves, and consider that the Trust should aim to maintain unrestricted reserves of around £650,000 plus the restricted funds held within the Martyn Davis Educational Bursary Fund, with the remaining balance being held for the purpose of new giving proposals, to be sought from the membership of the Company or the Trustees. It is anticipated that new giving proposals will be larger in scale and value to beneficiaries. This policy to be reviewed annually by the Trustees. The Trustees will also ensure that sufficient investment income will be generated in order to enable the Trust to continue to maximise its charitable activities in accordance with its aims whilst being very conscious of not building up reserves at the expense of fulfilling our charitable objects. As shown on page 12 of the financial reserves were £1,028,944 (2020: £930,997) £630,771 (2020: £nil). At 31 December 2021 the reserves included £189,728 (2020: £91,175) of unrealised gains on investments. It is, therefore, likely that with the performance of stock markets.
Risk management
The Trust, as a small charity, is not required to undertake a formal risk analysis.

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE
Opinion
for the year ended 31 December
2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Trust 1 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Trust in accordance with the ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the T accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Trust concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion :
-
the information given in the T aterial respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the T 7 the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Trust as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Trust or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered 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 with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Discussions were held with, and enquiries made of, management and those charged with governance with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:
-
Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include the Charities Act 2011, UK financial reporting standards and GDPR.
-
It is considered that there are no laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the Trust.
Page 9
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of the minutes of Trustee meetings; testing the appropriateness of entries in the nominal ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the end of the reporting period; and the performance of analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements and assessment of going concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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 d the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The Trust qualifies as a small charity and has therefore taken advantage of the exemption in the Charities FRS 102 not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust a going concern.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Trust's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
1.2 Income recognition
All income is recognised once the Trust has entitlement to the income, it is probable that income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The following criteria must also be met before income is recognised:
Donations and gifts
Donations and gifts are recognised when both the amount and settlement date are known.
Legacies
Legacies are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date.
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest being paid or payable. Income from investments is recognised once the distribution has been declared and notification of the distribution due has been received.
1.3 Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Trust currency is the pound sterling.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised in the period when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Trust to that expenditure, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All support and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Trust and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
1.5 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and dismantling and restoration costs.
Depreciation is calculated, using the straight-line method, to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
- Office equipment 2 years
each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Trust and the cost can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Tangible fixed assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.6 Fixed asset investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Trust does not acquire options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the Trust is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
1.7 Investment management fees

1.9 Financial instruments
The Trust has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.
Short term debtors and creditors
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand.
Offsetting

1.10 Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
1.11 Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Trust and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned in proportion to the amounts granted. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 6.

Page 15
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.13 Realised and unrealised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their original purchase value. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are shown separately in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.14 Taxation
H. M. Revenue & Customs has granted the Trust charity exemption and thus it is exempt from taxation.
2. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing the financial statements management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for income and expenditure during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. Whilst management have made judgements, estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements, they consider that these have not had a significant effect on amounts recognised.
