THE JOSEPH LEVY ENDOWMENT TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Trustees present their statutory report with the accounts of The Joseph Levy Endowment Trust (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 March 2023. The Trust is a registered charity with an address at 49 Pitfield Street, London, N1 6DA.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 1416 therein and comply with the charity’s trust deed, applicable laws and the requirements of Statement of Recommended Practice on “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (Charities SORP FRS 102). There have been no changes in the policies adopted by the charity during the year.
Governance, structure and management
Constitution
The Joseph Levy Endowment Trust (formerly The Federation Trust) is governed by a trust dated 8 May 1979 as amended by the Federation Trust Deed dated 10 January 1996 and the Deed of Appointment dated 24 November 2009. It is registered as a charity, Registration No. 278078.
Objectives and activities
The Trust’s main object is to promote and support the instruction of young people of all classes in the principles of discipline, loyalty and good citizenship in such ways that the Trustees think fit and in particular by the furtherance of the charitable purposes of the Federation of London Youth Clubs.
Organisation
The Trust has no staff. All of the decision-making and management of the Trust is carried out by the Trustees who meet at least once per year, and more frequently when they consider it necessary. The day-to-day administration of the Trust is carried out by London Youth staff.
Trustees
All Trustees are elected for an unrestricted term, except Roger Merton MBE, independent Trustee, who was re-appointed as a Trustee in July 2022. The power of appointment of new Trustees vests in London Youth. The following Trustees were in office during the year:
Stephen David Moss, CBE Morenike Ajayi, MBE Roger Merton, MBE David Miller
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general advice on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives.
In 2021, the Board also welcomed James Jason as the Levy Family Representative to the Trust.
Grant making policy
The Trust’s policy is to make grants to organisations working with young people in London with similar objects to that of the Trust.
Investment policy
There are no restrictions on the Trust’s power to invest. The Trustees’ strategy is to establish a firm capital base to maximise the capital growth and income from its investments so that the Trust can make enduring contributions through its grants to organisations with similar objectives.

THE JOSEPH LEVY ENDOWMENT TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Although the investment approach adopted by the Trust had been on a Total Return basis since January 2019; in recognition that declining market performance during the period of the pandemic required a drawdown of capital in order to maintain the 4% Total Return requirement agreed with its investment managers, the Trust resolved in July 2021 to revert to the investment method whereby the only dividend to be received will be the actual dividend generated by the portfolio. This was executed in October 2021.
As a result of this decision, only actual income earned, together with interest from the investment portfolio, is paid out to the Trust by its investment managers, who also refund the management fees incurred in year which totalled £3,054 in 2022-23 (2021-22: £3,136).
However, the total amount of capital drawdown under the total return on investment approach for the period to 31 March 2022 was £25,038 (2021: £20,336) was released to General Fund with the permission of the Levy family in 2022.
As the investment approach has now been standardised, there has been no accumulation – since October 2021 – of investment capital release and all funds paid to the bank account can be utilised as the Trust sees fit.
Achievements and performance
The charity relies on income from investments, together with investment gains, to fund its grantmaking activities in year.
Although investment income has remained relatively stable, with 2022-23 achieving 88% of 2021-22 levels at £42,814 (2022: £48,668), the reduction in gains on investments to £40,480 in 2021-22 against prior year gains of £293,218, fell to a loss of £88,137 in 2022-23.
As a result of accumulated general fund to £86,838 due to the cessation of the Trust’s grantmaking activities in 2021-22, the Trust resolved to recommence this activity in 2022-23 via a grant of £40,000 (2021-22: £nil) to London Youth.
Reflecting the approach taken in 2015 at London Youth’s Hindleap Warren outdoor learning centre, the Trust resolved, with the permission of the Levy Family, to support the installation of a biomass boiler at London Youth’s Woodrow High House outdoor learning centre, as follows:
-
A repayable 10-year, interest free loan of £490,000 to be funded via capital release
-
A grant of £70,000 to support the capital works to be funded from general fund.
Total funds paid to London Youth in year totalled £600,000 (2021-22: £nil).
With the permission of the Levy Family, the Trust also released £25,038 of investment capital held as Cash at Bank (paid out by investment managers to support the total return on investment approach for the period from January 2019 to October 2021) to General Fund.
Future Plans
The Trust’s future plans are to continue to promote and support the wellbeing and achievement of young Londoners in such ways that the Trustees think fit and, in particular, by the furtherance of the charitable purposes of London Youth. The Board will continue to monitor the performance of its investment portfolio, the value of which stood at £1,093,299 (2021-22: £1,696,474) as at 31 March 2023.

THE JOSEPH LEVY ENDOWMENT TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Key management personnel remuneration
The Trustees have remained stable since 2021-22, with Roger Merton, MBE having been reelected to the Board on 20 July 2022.
Since July 2021, the Trustees are also joined by James Jason as the Levy Family Representative to the Trust.
Financial review
The Trust derives its income in the form of dividend income from its investment portfolio and interest received. 2022-23 saw the first full year of the standard investment approach adopted in October 2021 as the Trust reverted from a total returns on investment approach. Income for the period to 31 March 2023 totalled £42,814 (2021-22: £48,668).
However, the overall value of the investment portfolio fell by £603,175 (2021-22: Gains of £40,480) as a result of a number of transactions:
-
A 10-year, interest-free loan of £490,000 to support the biomass capital works at Woodrow High House, funded by capital release
-
Losses of £88,137 (2021-22: Gains of £40,480)
-
A transfer of capital fund held as cash of £25,038 to General Fund
Similarly, the value of General Fund fell by £50,007 (2021-22: uplift of £46,358) as a result of the following transactions:
-
Governance costs of £7,859 (2021-22: £2,310) including additional provision for the cost of independent examination in 2022-23.
-
A donation of £40,000 as the Trust resumed its grant-making activities
-
A grant of £70,000 to support the installation of a biomass boiler at Woodrow High House
-
Receipt of capital fund previously held as cash of £25,038
Total charitable expenditure in the year to 31 March 2023 was £117,859 (2021-22: £2,310) against income of £42,814 (2021-22: £48,668). The value of the General Fund as at 31 March 2023 was £25,495 (2021-22: £75,502).
The value of the Trust’s investment portfolio held as at 31 March 2023 was £1,093,299 (2021-22: £1,671,436).
Total Funds stood at £1,608,794 (2021-22: £1,771,976).
Reserves policy
The fund held as listed investments within the expendable endowment fund ensures the Trust has sufficient resources to carry on making discretionary grants as the Trustees think fit, with due regard to the level of investment income available to fund such grants. Where there is insufficient income and interest to fund such grants, the Trustees may withhold grant payments and/or seek permission of the Levy family representative to draw down a portion of the expendable endowment.
At 31 March 2022, the expendable endowment had total funds of £1,583,299 (2021-22: £1,696,474). General funds held were £25,495 (2021-22: £75,502).

THE JOSEPH LEVY ENDOWMENT TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
There being no operational costs to the charity other than Governance costs, which were £7,859 (2021-22: £2,310), the Trustees consider that a Reserve figure of £7,000 (2022: £5,000) is adequate to ensure that the governance duties of the Trust are appropriately discharged.
The Trustees consider therefore that the balance of the expendable General fund at £18,495 (2021-22: £50,464) is sufficient to cover the Reserves requirement.
Future grant payments are varied by the Trust in accordance with income earned on investments. In addition, the Trust anticipates the repayment of the 10-year, interest-free loan to London Youth at the rate of £49,000 per annum. Anticipated investment income of at least £40,000 (2021-22: £42,814) and the loan repayment value of £49,000 per annum, the Trustees believe that the current level of reserves to be more than sufficient to cover the Reserves Policy requirement.
Risk management
The Trustees have always received a regular flow of information about both the finances and operations of the Trust. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed through their risk management policy. These are:
- Investment risk – the Trust’s assets are comprised of investments, which are used to generate its income. An investment policy is in place to mitigate risks associated with management of these assets and the performance of the investments, which are professionally managed, is regularly reviewed by the Trustees.
In light of unprecedented post-pandemic market turbulence, the Trustees will continue to work with its investment managers to manage and mitigate, where possible, any further negative impact of this ongoing crisis on the performance of the investment fund.
The Trust can also mitigate the risk of income variation by varying or ceasing its grant payment programme, which constitutes its principal expenditure, in order to conserve funds.
Further, the Trust took steps in October 2021 to minimise the risk of capital attrition by reverting to a standard method of investment whereby only the dividend to be received – rather than relying on capital drawdown to fund a total return on investment approach during periods of poor market performance – will be paid out as cash at bank.
-
Financial risk – the risk of financial mismanagement or fraud – the Trust has very few financial transactions, primarily receipt of income from investment managers, donations, bank charges and governance costs. Accountancy services are carried out on behalf of the Trustees by qualified staff employed by London Youth; these staff are employed under that organisation’s recruitment practices, which are understood to be thorough. The financial information for the Trust is held separately from that of London Youth.
-
Conflict of interest – the Trust works closely with London Youth in whose favour income from the Trust is paid. Three of the Trustees are the Chair, Deputy Chair and Treasurer of London Youth, which could create a conflict of interest situation, mitigated by the appointment of an independent Trustee.
A conflict of interest policy is in place to manage any risk of conflict.
- Child protection risk – the Trust has a child protection policy in place, and this risk is mitigated by the fact it is a grant making charity and does not work directly with children and young people.

THE JOSEPH LEVY ENDOWMENT TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Going concern
The Trustees have assessed the ability of the Trust to continue as a going concern. Informing this conclusion, a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements has been considered. The Trust has been in a position to withstand the continued post-pandemic economic turbulence and will continue to manage its finances so as to limit any further impact of the pandemic on its operations.
The Trust holds a permanent endowment fund on which it receives investment income to fund grants. A key area of uncertainty relates to the current market turmoil on the valuation of investments and returns. However, this can be accommodated within the reserves. Also, there is flexibility in the level of grants approved.
The Trustees therefore took a cautious approach towards discretionary spend in 2021-22 by temporarily suspending its grant-making activities to London Youth and replacing that with a commitment to support a capital project up to the value of £560k at Woodrow High House.
As at year end 31 March 2023, the balance of the expendable General fund was £25,495 (2021-22: £75,502) which, in the view of the Trust, is sufficient to cover the Reserves requirement.
Although 2022-23 has been an exceptional year in terms of financial activity, the value of the General Fund at £25,495 represents 3½ times the average annual governance spend of £7,000 and is deemed sufficient to cover operating costs in 2023-24.
Having conducted this review of the Trust’s reserves position, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

THE JOSEPH LEVY ENDOWMENT TRUST PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Basis of preparation of the accounts
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared on the basis of historical cost convention adjusted for fair value of investments, in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011 and UK generally Accepted Practice.
The Joseph Levy Endowment Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going Concern Statement
The Trustees have assessed the ability of the Trust to continue as a going concern. Informing this conclusion, a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements has been considered. The Trust has been in a position to withstand the continued post-pandemic economic turbulence and will continue to manage its finances so as to limit any further impact of the pandemic on its operations.
The Trust holds a permanent endowment fund on which it receives investment income to fund grants. A key area of uncertainty relates to the current market turmoil on the valuation of investments and returns. However, this can be accommodated within the reserves. Also, there is flexibility in the level of grants approved.
The Trustees therefore took a cautious approach towards discretionary spend in 2021-22 by temporarily suspending its grant-making activities to London Youth and replacing that with a commitment to support a capital project up to the value of £560k at Woodrow High House.
As at year end 31 March 2023, the balance of the expendable General fund was £25,495 (2021-22: £75,502) which, in the view of the Trust, is sufficient to cover the Reserves requirement.
Although 2022-23 has been an exceptional year in terms of financial activity, the value of the General Fund at £25,495 represents 3½ times the average annual governance spend of £7,000 and is deemed sufficient to cover operating costs in 2023-24.
Having conducted this review of the Trust’s reserves position, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Income Policy
All income is credited to the statement of financial activities when there is entitlement, it can be measured and it is probable. Investment income is credited to the statement of financial activities in the period in which the Trust is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Page | 13
THE JOSEPH LEVY ENDOWMENT TRUST PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Expenditure
Expenditure is included in the statement of financial activities when incurred and includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. The Trust does not have any expenditure on staff costs as it does not have any employees.
Expenditure comprises the following:
-
a. The cost of raising funds includes the fees paid to investment managers in connection with the Trust’s listed investments.
-
b. Grants payable are included in the statement of financial activities when approved and when the intended recipient has either received the funds or been informed of the decision to make the grant and has satisfied all related conditions.
-
c. Governance costs comprise those costs directly attributable to compliance with statutory requirements.
Investments
Investments are included on the balance sheet at their market value at the end of the financial period. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are credited, or debited, to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they arise.
Fund accounting
The general fund comprises those monies which may be used towards meeting the charitable objectives of the Trust at the discretion of the Trustees.
The expendable endowment fund is invested to generate income for the future but can be expended with the permission of the family representative.
Volunteers
The Trust has no volunteers except for its Trustees.
Financial Instruments
Joseph Levy Endowment Trust has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise trade creditors and accruals.
Investments, including bonds held as part of an investment portfolio, are held at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, with gains and losses being recognised with income and expenditure.
At the balance sheet date, the charity held financial assets at fair value of £1,093,299 (2022: £1,671,436).
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies which are described above, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumption about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Page | 14
THE JOSEPH LEVY ENDOWMENT TRUST PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods is the revision affects the current and future periods.
In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
