TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES, AIMS AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable Objective
The income and capital of the Charity is to be applied by the Trustees for such charitable purposes at such time or times and in such manner as they in their absolute discretion think fit.
Aim
The Charity aims to have a demonstrable positive impact on the lives of its beneficiaries. Within the parameters of the grant-making policy explained below, it supports charitable causes in one or more of the following fields:
-
Youth (particularly if there is a broadly educational or training aspect to the charity’s work, beyond simply introducing beneficiaries to experiences which they would not otherwise have)
-
Welfare (any age group)
-
Medical (particularly medical research)
-
Education.
Activities
Grants awarded during the year amounted to £310,000 (2019: £299,100) . See ‘Achievements and Performance’ for more detail.
During the year, the Trustees added two charities to their list of Core Charities – see ‘Grant-making Policies’ for more detail.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have considered and have had regard to the guidance on Public Benefit issued by the Charity Commission. Grants awarded during the year have covered a wide spectrum of public benefit by funding charitable organisations which were within the grant-making policies of the Charity.
Strategy
The strategy for the year has been to focus funding on Core Charities. See ‘Grant-making Policies’ for more detail.
Grant-making Policies
Subject to the exception explained at the end of this section, the Charity only makes grants to organisations on a list of Core Charities selected by the Trustees. The Trustees will consider each Core Charity for a grant every year, but will not necessarily make a grant to every Core Charity every year.
The Grants Committee of Trustees reviews and update the list of Core Charities bi-annually, taking

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
into account Trustees’ views and suggestions from the grant administrator, Bradestrete Services Limited (BSL).
In order to generate suggestions, BSL is authorised to do proportionate due diligence, including by drawing on the Merchant Taylors’ Charity Visits Scheme volunteering programme.
At any time, Trustees can make suggestions for one-off grants to charities which do not have to be on the Core List.
PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Performance
Investment income for the year amounted to £189,951 (2019: £254,212) . The income for 2020 represented a total return of 11.6% on the investment portfolio as compared with a portfolio benchmark of 11.2% and the Charity Peer Group 3.8%.
After charitable grants of £310,000 (2019: £299,100) , investment management costs of £65,843 (2019: £ 9,402) and grant-related support costs of £14,029 (2019: £11,103) , the net outgoing resources for the year on unrestricted funds amounted to £199,921 (2019: net outgoing resources of £65,393)
See ‘Financial Review’ for a summary of expenditure on charitable activities against distributions from the investment portfolio, in the context that such distributions are comprised partly of capital growth, in addition to natural income, and are received net of investment management fees.
Both investment management costs of £65,843 (2019: £9,402 ) and management fees of £9,685 (2019: £5,262 ) increased from the previous year, reflecting the fact that 2020 was the first full year during which the Charity had applied an active investment management strategy with a bespoke portfolio.
Details of Grants awarded are given in Note 3 of the financial statements. Details of Grant-related costs are given in Note 4.
The Trustees remain in contact with the beneficiary charities to ensure that their donations are used effectively.
As shown in the Balance Sheet the investment portfolio had a market value of £9,942,210 at 31 December 2020 as compared with a market value of £9,246,334 at 31 December 2019. Net current assets amounted to £28,844 at 31 December 2020 compared with £7,072 at 31 December 2019. Unrestricted Funds totalled £9,971,054 at 31 December 2020 compared with £9,253,406 at 31 December 2019.
Achievements
Since the Charity was established, from 1981 up to and including the year covered by this report, grants awarded have amounted to over £5.5 Million.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment Powers and Policy
The Trustees’ investment policy is that income should be maximised as far as possible whilst seeking to ensure capital growth. The Trustees have no exclusionary ethical policy but expect the Investment Managers to follow good ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles.
The Charity’s quoted investments were registered in the nominee names of Sarasin and Partners LLP at 31 December 2020 and are managed by them on a discretionary basis to generate income to support the activities of the Charity.
The Charity uses a ‘total return’ approach to income distribution from the portfolio, to maximise the chances of the Charity being able to maintain its level of giving to good causes despite market downturns.
Financial Reserves
The Trustees invested the funds received from the Settlors in order to provide income to be used in application of the Charity’s charitable objective and set aside an amount equal to the carrying value of investments as a Designated Fund. Unspent investment income is accumulated in a General Fund. Transfers are made between the Designated Fund and the General Fund to reflect the carrying value of the investments at each financial year end. Both Funds are unrestricted and can be expended at the Trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the Charity’s objective.
Risk Management
The Charity continues to review its management and financial procedures annually. The review ensures the identification of major risks to which it may be exposed, assesses their significance and ensures that appropriate systems are in place to mitigate them.
The potential for grant fraud is acknowledged as being a risk to which the Charity, and those like it, may be subject. It is felt that the pre-committee due diligence mitigates against it as strongly as the Charity’s resources will allow. Another risk to which the Charity is exposed is the value of, and yield from, its investments. Investments are monitored closely, with regular scrutiny of investment managers’ performance taking place.
The Trustees have continued to consider the possible impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on the Charity. The only risk identified remains that of a potential fall in the value of the investment portfolio. In the event, despite market fluctuations in the earlier part of the year, the value of the investment portfolio had increased as at 31 December 2020 from its value as at 31 December 2019. The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity remains a going concern.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
FUTURE PLANS
At the year end, the Trustees were intending to award an additional £50,000 of grants in 2021 to charities which they identified as being well placed to tackle the impact of the pandemic. Those grants were made during the early part of 2021.
Subject to those additional grants, the Trustees propose to maintain the grant-making policy explained earlier in this report.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Charity was established by Deed of Trust dated 3 April 1979, settled by the late Mr Dudley F Cox and his son, the late Mr Geoffrey A Cox. Pursuant to a resolution dated 11 February 1984 the name of the Charity was changed from "The Haymills Charitable Trust” to "Dudley Cox Charitable Trust". By resolution dated 29 March 1991 the name of the Charity reverted to "Haymills Charitable Trust". By a further resolution dated 10 January 2013 the name of the Charity was changed to "Dudley and Geoffrey Cox Charitable Trust". This represents the Settlors who generously endowed the Charity.
Appointment of Trustees and Training
New Trustees are appointed by the existing Trustees as and when necessary. The Administrators of the Charity, Bradestrete Services Limited, keep the Trustees informed of current issues and if necessary extra training is arranged.
Trustees’ meetings
The Trustees meet regularly twice a year, in the Spring and in the Autumn. There is also a separate Grants Committee comprising two Trustees which also meets twice a year, in the Spring and in the Autumn. The Grants Committee considers which charities grants should be awarded to and makes recommendations to the full Board of Trustees.
Management Personnel
The Charity does not employ management personnel but employs the services of Bradestrete Services Limited, a subsidiary of the Merchant Taylors’ Company, to provide all administrative functions.
Related Parties
Some of the Trustees may be connected to one or more of the organisations that received grants during the year. However, as all grants are approved on a majority basis, the Trustees do not believe that such connections impact on the grant-making process.
Three of the Trustees are members of the Merchant Taylors' Company, which administers the Charity via the Company’s subsidiary Bradestrete Services Limited of which the Company is the majority shareholder.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
STATEMENT OF THE TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing their annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting period 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 the accounting period. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting 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;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue its activities.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping 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 and enable them to ensure that the statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made thereunder. 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Dudley and Geoffrey Cox Charitable Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the Charity Trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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.
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 you as 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
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the 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 an 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 to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1 Accounting policies
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102) second edition) and the Charities Act 2011.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity and are rounded to the nearest pound. Advantage has been taken of the exemption for charities with income less than £500,000 from preparing a cash flow statement
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
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 SORP rather than Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (revised 2005) which has been withdrawn.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
1.3 Income and endowments
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
1.4 Grants and other expenditure
Grants are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the Trust’s charitable objects. Unconditional grants are accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified and any unfulfilled condition attaching to the grant is outside the control of the Trust.
Expenditure on raising funds comprises those costs directly attributable to managing the investment portfolio and raising investment income.
Other expenditure, including any irrecoverable VAT, is recognized on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1.5 Fixed asset investments
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. Net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities. Unquoted investments have been stated at Trustees' valuation.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
1.7 Unrestricted funds
The general fund represents income available for expenditure. A designated fund has been set aside by the Trustees from funds received from the Settlors and an annual transfer is made between the unrestricted funds so that the year end balance on the designated fund reflects the market value of the investments. See notes 8 and 9 for further information.
1.8 Taxation
The Trust is a registered charity and is not liable to UK income tax or corporation tax on its activities.
