## **THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and the relevant version of the 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) **.**
## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit**
The Foundation’s objects as set out in the trust deed are the relief of poverty, distress and sickness and the advancement of education, religion and charitable purposes of benefit to the community.
The trustees aim to achieve these objects by making grants as described in the grant making policy and process paragraph below.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation’s aims and objectives and in planning and setting the grant making policy for the year.
The Foundation carries out these objects by donating funds to a wide variety of charitable bodies registered with the Charity Commission or with equivalent status to enable them to carry out their charitable purposes as defined by the Charities Act.
## **Grant making policy and process**
The Foundation considers applications for funding of projects and appeals from local and national charitable bodies registered with the UK Charity Commission or bodies with equivalent status. Applicants are asked to complete an application form which provides a summary of the project together with costings, financial accounts and details of fundraising activities. The trustees have direct contact with a number of applicants. Each application is initially reviewed by one trustee before being put to the full Board of Trustees for consideration. On occasion a visit is made by a trustee to an individual applicant to see the work first hand. Each application is judged on its merits with special consideration given to any which benefit the community in Dorset and West Hampshire.
The Foundation makes grants on a regular basis to certain charitable bodies to assist with their development and to ensure their continued existence.
The charity requests reports on the progress of each project which it supports.
No grants are made to individuals.
## **Achievements and performance**
During the year the Foundation made grants totalling £1,185,167 (net of the return an unused part of a grant by 1 charitable body) to 163 charitable bodies compared with £1,169,200 to 144 charitable bodies for the previous year. A summary of grants made to charitable bodies is given in note 17. In addition to supporting local and national charities, the Foundation has made overseas grants to advance education, relieve poverty, sickness, and suffering some of which have been caused by conflict and disasters.
## **Financial review**
The Foundation is dependent on income from its investments. It generated gross income of £1,631,043 in the year to fund total grants and costs of £1,549,547 thus increasing Income Funds available at 31 March 2023 by £81,496 to £495,808 - this includes a reserve of £220,000 (which is in accordance with the reserves policy on page 2). The level of expenditure on grants increased from £1,169,200 in 2021/22 to £1,185,167 in 2022/23. During the year under review £51,964 was spent on repairing and maintaining properties (note 5) and £64,432 was spent on capital improvements to properties (included within additions in note 9a). Two properties were sold during 2022/23 and no property was purchased. The negative expenditure on property legal fees (note 5) for 2022/23 includes recoveries from third parties of fees incurred in previous years which exceeded the amounts prudently reserved as recoverable in those earlier financial statements, whilst the increased miscellaneous property expenses (note 5) includes standing charges (utilities and rates) for vacant properties.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Financial review (continued)**
In accordance with the Foundation's trust deed, the trustees have discretion as to how the Endowment and Income Funds are expended. It is the trustees’ policy to maintain the Endowment Fund and the value of the investments as far as possible to enable the income therefrom to increase year upon year.
Professional fees relating to quoted investments and the property portfolio are charged to income apart from those which relate to the purchase or sale of quoted investments and properties which are treated as part of the acquisition or reduction on the return on the disposal of the assets concerned. The management of the property portfolio requires considerable professional time and expertise which substantially contributes to the high level of the cost of generating funds in comparison to non property owning charities.
Many of the properties originally given to the Charity or subsequently acquired by it have been subject to the enfranchisement legislation. As a result many of the Charity's property investments have been acquired by third parties and the Trustees have had to re-invest the compensation received. The Trustees are conscious of the long term impact of this trend and will keep this under review.
The value of the Expendable Endowment Fund at 31 March 2023 increased by £1,409,337 to £40,341,093 due to the realised and unrealised gains on investments (as shown in note 7).
The trustees continue to closely monitor the performance of the Foundation’s investments and are reasonably satisfied that income from the portfolio of listed investments and properties will be maintained and the operation of the Foundation's affairs will not be impaired.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the Foundation to endeavour to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration costs and to respond to emergency applications for grants which may arise from time to time. The Trustees have agreed an amount of £220,000 and they use this amount when making decisions regarding expenditure at each Trustee meeting. The level of reserves at 31 March 2023 exceeded this target.
## **Investment powers, policy and performance**
Under the Declaration of Trust the trustees have uncontrolled discretion as beneficial owners as to the manner in which the trust's assets are invested.
Under a Charity Commission Order dated 30 April 1990 the trustees may take a notional stake in companies which have special voting rights on issues of particular importance to the Foundation’s interest in properties leased to those companies. They may also retain the 100 ordinary shares of £1 each in Laverstock Properties Limited which is a dormant company in case of need.
Charles Stanley & Co. Ltd continue to act as stock market investment advisors on a discretionary management basis. The policy is still to adopt a medium low risk strategy but maximising income.
The performance of the portfolio is benchmarked against the MSCI WMA Private Investor Income Index. During the year to 31 March 2023, the portfolio produced an income return of 3.58% and a capital return of -4.72% giving a total return of -1.14%. This compares with the benchmark return for both income and capital of -3.86%.
The trustees consider the performance of the portfolio to be adequate and the objectives of the investment policy to have been met.
Symonds & Sampson LLP, Chartered Surveyors together with Preston Redman LLP, Solicitors, continue to act as property advisers and manage the properties on behalf of the trustees. A second firm of Solicitors, Michelmores, has provided advice on specific property related matters during the year.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Risk Management**
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
For non-property investments, the trustees (in conjunction with the charity’s investment managers) have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds on the charity’s behalf. As stated above, the policy is to adopt a medium low risk strategy but maximising income with the portfolio diversified in various asset classes (primarily UK Equity, Fixed Income and International Equity) and sectors. The charity further reduces its risk by holding cash where it considers that the timing of the investment thereof might not be appropriate. The major risks to which the charity is exposed are a general downturn in the economy (including the unpredictability of Covid-19, ongoing uncertainties relating to Brexit and the cost of living crisis). Where market conditions are reducing the charity’s income, the charity is mitigating this by reducing the level of grant payments.
For investment properties, the trustees (in conjunction with the charity’s property advisers) have considered the most appropriate policy for managing those properties on the charity’s behalf. The major risks to which the charity is exposed are a fall in the property market (including those which might result from regular proposals for changes in legislation, and which the trustees, along with the charity's property advisers, keep under review) and vacant properties, and this risk is reduced by holding a diversified property portfolio of both residential and commercial properties in areas where rental demand is good. Property maintenance projects are budgeted to be met out of income. If market conditions were to reduce rental income, the charity would mitigate this by reducing the level of grant payments. The trustees have instructed their property advisors to advise them in respect of Health & Safety requirements in so far as within their expertise to do so and to obtain specialist advice as appropriate. Any third party contractors used are engaged by the property advisors acting in the capacity of agent on behalf of the trustees.
Overall, the trustees look to spread risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio including investment properties and a portfolio investing in equities, fixed interest and cash, and by seeking good professional advice to properly manage those investments.
## **Plans for future periods**
The Charity is a lasting testimony to the generosity and charitable concerns of Miss Alice Ellen Cooper Dean and Miss Sylvia Bowditch, the donors. The trustees continue that charitable concern and receive many more applicants for donations than they can meet.
The trustees intend that all the income earned from the various investments, less costs, and a reserve of £220,000 (in accordance with the reserves policy on page 2), is utilised by carrying out the Charity’s objects by donating funds to a wide variety of charitable bodies.
The trustees do not intend to distribute capital other than in very exceptional circumstances. No such occasion has arisen previously.
With the assistance of advisors every effort is made to maintain and enhance the value of the Charity’s stock exchange and property investments to ensure that the Endowment Fund will continue to produce a level of income in the longer term to enable a greater level of donations to be made for the foreseeable future.
Priority will continue to be given to registered charities and similar organisations that benefit the community in Dorset and West Hampshire.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Foundation is a registered charity, number 273298, and is constituted under a trust deed dated 7 March 1977 supplemented by a Scheme approved by the Charity Commission in 1985 and Charity Commission Orders in 1990 and 2000. The Foundation was established by an initial gift from Miss Alice Ellen Cooper Dean and supplemented by a legacy following her death in 1984.
Miss Sylvia Bowditch, a former trustee of the Foundation, created the Holdenhurst Charity to be the beneficiary of her residuary estate and of the Riverside Settlement, a trust she established during her lifetime.
In July 2008, with the approval of the Charity Commission, the beneficial interests of the Holdenhurst Charity in the estate of the late Miss Sylvia Bowditch and in the trust fund of the Riverside Settlement were assigned to the trustees of the Foundation to be held as additions to its trust fund.
The Foundation does not fundraise and seeks to continue the charitable work desired by the donors through the careful stewardship of its existing resources.
The management of the Foundation and its assets is vested in the trustees. The trustees who served during the year are listed on page 5. The trust deed states that the number of trustees shall not be less than three. The power of appointment of new trustees is vested in the continuing trustees for the time being (excluding any retiring trustee). The trustees meet at approximately three monthly intervals (one in-person and three virtual meetings during the year ended 31 March 2023) to assess grant applications, with agreed donations then being made on a regular basis. The initial processing of grant applications prior to consideration by the trustees is delegated to one
## **Policy for recruitment, induction and training of trustees**
When the Trustees have a vacancy they seek to identify skill shortages among the board of trustees and endeavour to fill the gaps and replace outgoing trustees by recruiting new members with relevant knowledge and experience which will benefit the future administration of the Foundation.
During the year, no new trustees have been appointed and none resigned.
New trustees are provided with detailed background information of the Foundation and its ethos, and copies of the Charity Commission guidance “The essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do” (CC3) and the "Charity Governance Code" (which replaced “The Hallmarks of an Effective Charity” (CC10) in July 2017). They are also asked to give details of any appointments or positions which may give rise to conflicts of interest.
If considered necessary, the Foundation will endeavour to provide further education to ensure the trustees continue to make an effective contribution to the charity.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Trustees' responsibilities statement**
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 & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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 period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- • observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; • make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable 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 are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of The Alice Ellen Cooper Dean Charitable Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cashflows and Notes to the Financial Statements, including 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 charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2023, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s 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.
## **Conclusion relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of 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 charity's ability to continue as a going 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 Report of the Trustees, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Report of the Trustees. 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.
## **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 financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
- the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; 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.

## **THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 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 charity’s ability to continue 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 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: Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the charity sector;
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- • tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

## **THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)**
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)**
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation
- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **1.1 Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern**
The Alice Ellen Cooper Dean Charitable Foundation is an unincorporated charity constituted under a trust deed dated 7 March 1977 supplemented by a Scheme approved by the Charity Commission in 1985 and Charity Commission Orders in 1990 and 2000 and is registered as a charity in England and Wales.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant version of the 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 issued in 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the relevant version of the 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) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis (as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exists) under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **1.2 Funds structure**
The Expendable Endowment Fund represents the gifts made by Miss Alice Ellen Cooper Dean and Miss Sylvia Bowditch, as detailed on page 3, which have been used for income generation. This fund includes all subsequent gains and losses, both realised and unrealised arising from fixed asset investments. The fund is expendable and may at the discretion of the trustees be applied for the purpose for which the endowment was given.
The unrestricted Income Fund can be spent on any purpose within the Foundation's objects at the trustees' discretion. The trustees have the discretion to transfer funds to the Expendable Endowment Fund.
## **1.3 Income recognition**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
## **1.4 Expenditure recognition**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
- 14 -
**THE ALICE ELLEN COOPER DEAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **1.4 Expenditure recognition (continued)**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the Statement of Financial Activities. For more information on this allocation refer to note 1.5 below. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the charitable objects of the charity. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled conditions attaching to that grant are outside the control of the charity.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of the grant payable.
A provision for a multi-year grant is recognised at its present value where settlement is due over more than one year from the date of the award, there are no unfulfilled performance conditions under the control of the charity that would permit the charity to avoid making the future payment(s), settlement is probable, and the effect of discounting is material. The discount rate used is the rate offered on government bonds (Gilts) for a commensurate or similar time period offered in the year in which the grant award is made.
## **1.5 Support and governance costs**
Support costs have been differentiated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with other costs relating to the trustee Board meetings.
## **1.6 Costs of generating funds**
The cost of managing quoted investments is charged to the Income Fund as is the cost of managing properties. Any costs associated with the sale or purchase of quoted investments and properties are treated as part of the acquisition or reduction on the return on disposal of the assets concerned.
## **1.7 Charitable activities**
The expenditure on charitable activities includes grants made, governance costs and grant related support costs.
## **1.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Assets costing more than £300 are capitalised and valued at historic cost.
Depreciation is charged on furnishings which are written off on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years.
The charity owns a number of chattels with an historic cost of £nil.
## **1.9 Fixed assets investments**
Quoted investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **1.9 Fixed assets investments (continued)**
Investment properties are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
Unquoted investments are shown at the best estimate of fair value which is considered to be equal to cost.
## **1.10 Realised 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 sale proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value, if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. 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 combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **1.11 Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year**
Debtor 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 expenditure.
## **1.12 Financial instruments**
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined by FRS102. The financial assets and liabilities of the charity and their measurements is as follows: -
Financial assets - other debtors (excluding prepayments which are not financial instruments) are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 15. Quoted investments and unquoted investments (excluding investment properties which are not financial instruments) are basic financial instruments measured at fair value through the statement of financial
Cash and short term deposits - are classified as a basic financial instrument and are measured as debt instruments at face value.
Financial liabilities - accruals (excluding deferred income which is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or other financial instrument) and other creditors (excluding taxation which is not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition) are measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 15.
