**LETCHWORTH CIVIC TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024**_ 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the trust's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objectives of the trust are to promote and advance charitable purposes for the benefit of the public of Letchworth Garden City and its immediate neighbourhood. This is achieved primarily by the distribution of income, by way of grants to individuals, schools, clubs and other organisations operating in Letchworth Garden City. 

The trust has continued its educational grant support to the university student and further education population and other school pupils and students in Letchworth Garden City. The trust also gives grants to a number of charitable organisations. The number and size of grant applications received from charities during the year is similar to the previous year. A website has increased awareness of the trusts's existence. 

The trust has no plans to change its objectives or the means to achieve them. 

## _Public benefit_ 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the trust should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## _Significant activities and achievements against objectives_ 

There has been a 3% increase in the number of 1st year students applying this year for educational support grants to help them with their further education. There has continued to be a large increase in primary school applications driven by the ongoing cost of living squeeze for families. We are very pleased that we have been able to accommodate all requests. 

The trust has made a surplus in the year. 

We are in the process of reviewing our investment portfolio with ethical investments being our aim. 

## **Financial review** 

The trustees have noted the risks associated with changes in global markets, particularly the war in Ukraine, and are closely monitoring the returns on the trust's investments. Income via dividends for the year has been above that forecast, and also above that of the previous year. In view of general global unrest, the trust is in a healthy financial position. 

## _Reserves policy_ 

Under the reserves policy of the trust, the trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level to meet the anticipated grant applications and governance costs in the period up to the receipts of significant income from investments and grants. 

The balance held as unrestricted at 30 June 2024 was £241,198 all of which are regarded as free reserves, against anticipated expenditure of £75,000 up to the end of October 2024. The trustees consider that these reserves will be adequate to meet the requirements of the reserves policy. 

The major investments are held primarily for their income potential and capital growth. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 15 April 1914 as amended 14 June 2022. The trust is established as a company limited by guarantee.

**LETCHWORTH CIVIC TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Letchworth Civic Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Suite 501, The Nexus Building, Broadway, Letchworth Garden City, Herts, SG6 9BL. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's governing document,  the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The trust 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. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the trust. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the trust 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. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the trust 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.

**LETCHWORTH CIVIC TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

## **1.6 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.7 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.8 Financial instruments** 

The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Impairment of financial assets**_ 

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. 

If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

**LETCHWORTH CIVIC TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Derecognition of financial assets**_ 

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the trust transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.9 Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the trust’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. 

## **Valuation of unlisted investments** 

The company adopts the following policy using the principles outlined below, taking into account the specific circumstances of itself and the nature of its investment in Letchworth Housing Investments Limited. 

The unlisted investment is valued on the assets basis, applying a minority interest discount of 70% reflecting the limited market for the asset. At each statement of financial position date, an impairment test is undertaken in order to determine whether any impairment is required for the investment by comparing the investment's carrying value to its estimated recoverable amount. 

The recoverable amount is based on the net asset value of the underlying asset and is sensitive to the discount rate used.
