## **History, Objectives and Activities of the Trust**
The Trust deed gives the trustees power to apply the income received from the capital invested in such a manner as they think fit for the benefit of any charitable object or purpose. The trustees have a policy of mainly supporting art and musical projects and the restoration of churches in Suffolk.
The trustees identify projects and organisations they wish to support, usually from applications made speculatively by people or organisations. Grants are normally made to other charitable bodies, however, occassionally applications from individuals are considered. The Trust also has a policy of not responding to any correspondence unless it relates to grants is has agreed to make or to the general management of the Trust.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)**
## **Management and Governance Arrangements**
Three of the trustees have held office for over 10 years. The trustees are responsible for the induction of any new trustee which involves awareness of a trustee's responsibilities, the governing documents, administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the charity.
The trustees have assessed the risks to which the Trust is exposed. To date these have mainly related to investment management and these have been ameliorated by diversified portfolio management.
## **Procedures and Policy for Grant Making**
The trustees meet quarterly to consider what grants they will make and to review any feedback they have received. Applications for grants are received by letter and e-mail.
The trustees have paid due regard to the guidance on public benefit in deciding who the charity should support.
## **Achievements and Performance of the Trust**
The purpose of the Trust is to distribute the income from the funds. The Trustees can choose to distribute from capital and due to the downturns of the last year have agreed circumstances in which that may be necessary. There is no legal requirement, but the Trustees set allocations within the general brief for Students and Churches.
Local Charities, and charities working within East Anglia who continue to be supported include Happy Days, Listening Books, INK Festival, Revitalise and Spinning Wheel Theatre. New grantees included Depden Care Farm, Haverhill Silver Band, Rural Coffee Project and Wonderful Beast
## **Financial Review, Investment Policy and Reserves**
There was no exceptional income this year, the income being generated primarily from the investment portfolio.
The economic effects of COVID-19 were evident throughout the year both in terms of the more limited income and the range of applications made. The trustees felt that they were able to provide grants to all of the applications that were appropriate.
The trustees aim to spend all net incoming resources of the unrestricted fund in the year in which they are received. Any surplus or deficit is added to or deducted from the reserve brought forward.
There is no requirement for the trustees to hold reserves, but the reserves held in the form of investments enable the trustees to continue to distribute income to charitable organisations.
The small restricted fund continues and is under discussion with the beneficiaries.
The Trust uses a stockbroker to act as investment advisor.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)**
## **Responsibilities of the Trustees**
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Trust's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing Financial Statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements; - Prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the Trust will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Trust and which enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with applicable law, regulations and the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approved on behalf of the Trustees on the 9th June 2021.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SCARFE CHARITABLE TRUST**
I report on the accounts of theTrust for the year ended 31st March 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 11.
## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act") and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **SCARFE CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of accounting**
These Accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception that investments are valued at market value. The accounts are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and comply with the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 issued under the Charities Act 2011.
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 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) issued on 16 July 2014 which under section 1A allows small charities exemption from preparing a cashflow statement.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
## **Taxation**
The trust is a registered charity and accordingly is exempt from taxation on its income and gains where they are applied for charitable purposes.
## **Restricted fund**
The income arising on the capital invested is recorded on a receivable basis. The income may only be used for the purpose specified when the funds were donated. The capital may be similarly used.
## **Unrestricted fund**
Net incoming resources are used as far as possible in the year in which they are received. Any surplus or deficit is added to or deducted from the reserve brought forward from the previous year.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is included in the accounts on an accruals basis, except grants (see policy below).
## **Grants**
Grants are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Trust to pay out resources and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant.
## **Investment assets and income**
Quoted investments have been valued at market value at the balance sheet date.
Unrealised and realised investment gains and losses are shown net in the statement of financial activities.
Investment income is recorded when receivable.
The cost of managing investments is shown in the statement of financial activities. Any costs associated with the sale or purchase of investments are accounted for as part of the sale or purchase price of the investments.
