REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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
Objectives and aims
The Trust's income, which is derived from investments, is used to fund grants to bodies with exclusively charitable objectives. It is the Trustees' policy to delegate investment management to fund managers under a discretionary agreement in order to achieve a reasonable balance between capital growth and income yield. The charity is a general grant making trust.
Public benefit
The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and consider that all the Foundation's activities fall within this.
Grant making
The Trustees have continued their policy of making gifts to a wide range of charities with the emphasis on youth, disability and the arts.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
The year has ended with the country moving out of lockdown following the spread of the Covid virus. However, two of our more significant projects have moved to very satisfactory outcomes.
The new boat for Crusader Community Boating having completed its build and launch by HRH Princess Royal at Blisworth is now being put to use and is proving popular. The new boat looks very good and there are full bookings from disabled and disadvantaged groups.
The stained-glass artist: Tom Denny having completed his work the windows can now be appreciated and admired. They are truly beautiful and have created a sense of wonder and amazement and are attracting visitors and help the sustainability of the church as well as telling the story of "light" and creation.
The proposed heritage centre in Northampton was not progressed but discussions were subsequently in hand to provide a National Heritage centre for Leather with a museum and educational centre in the main cultural quarter of Northampton close to the town centre and the university. This has now been reduced in scale, but it is hoped will proceed with new offices for the Community Foundation on the top floor and accommodation for nursing staff on the centre floors. The level of funding to be committed will remain as originally allowed for up to a level circa £1m and it will be the basis of a major educational and visitor facility managed by the Leather Livery Companies and the university.
The artist Jim Butler has worked on the development of his models for the sculpture of Sir John Laing to acknowledge and recognise his founding of the Laing charitable trusts. The DELF will take the lead in moving this forward with major contributions from the Kirby Laing Foundation and the other family trusts. Discussions for the site for the sculpture at Furness Abbey are progressing well with English Heritage.
The day to day giving/donations of the Foundation have continued but the number of applications has been reduced as part of a COVID EFFECT but a wide range of charities are being supported. The fund within the Northamptonshire Community Foundation has allowed support to be given to many grass roots and small-scale charitable groups. The office asset occupied by the community foundation provides an effective charitable donation to the foundation that allows it to be more effective in its role.
The similar fund established with the Hertfordshire community foundation is also giving cover to organisations and groups in Hertfordshire.
The trusts banking move from Barclays to Weatherby's bank has been effective and gives us an excellent relationship with a service of national standard but from its office in Wellingborough, and this has enabled a more local, personal and business-like relationship to develop. The relationship with CAF [The Charities Aid Foundation] remains strong and effective.
The younger generation have been encouraged to take an interest in philanthropy and have been using their allocation of a budget to make donations to registered charities utilising the CAF banking arrangements.
The Trust continues to focus on giving to Northamptonshire while also giving in West Sussex and Buckinghamshire

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The trustees have resolved to retain liquid reserves of not less than 2.5% of the current market value of the fund. At the year-end liquid cash reserves of £80,384 were held by the charity, which equates to 1.3% of total charity funds. The Listed Investments held with Sarasin & Partners equate to £676,561 and are considered to also be liquid if required by the charity and there are unlikely to be any financial pressures on the charity in the next 12 months. The trustees regard the liquidity of the investments to be sufficient to cover the charity’s requirements. At the year-end total funds are £6,046,048, of which all are unrestricted.
The management costs of the Investment Portfolio of £21,451 (2020: £26,275) have been allocated against the capital of the Trust.
The investment income for the year ended 5 April 2021 amounted to £162,358 (2020: £200,153) from which were allocated administration expenses of £6,625 (2020: £17,516). The decrease in administration expenses is largely due to the legal costs in the prior year paid for by the Foundation in association with the setup of the Northampton and County Heritage Trust. These amounted to £12,522. Charitable donations of £186,225 (2020: £378,221), as detailed in the notes to the accounts, were made during the year. Running costs associated with the charity's fixed assets amounted to £6,269 (2020: £6,269). The administration costs make up 4.08% (2020: 8.75%) of total incoming resources.
The trustees donations target of making total annual donations of at least 5% of the gross value of the Foundation is a target and is reviewed annually. The 5% target was not met this year, however the trustees are satisfied with the level of donations made this year due to the overspend in the previous financial year.
FUTURE PLANS
Who knows where the future will lead us over the coming year, but trustees will look to support charities previously supported in order to ensure their ongoing viability as well as those where we can provide our help for cases of need.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Trust is an unincorporated trust, constituted under a trust deed dated 2 July 1979 and is a registered charity, number 278462. The Trust was established by an initial gift from David Eric Laing. The trust does not actively fundraise and seeks to continue the work desired by the Settlor through the careful stewardship of its existing resources.
At the half year Trustees' meeting the Trustees agreed the strategy and areas of activity for the Trust including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance.
The Foundation's Deed does not provide for a minimum number of Trustees and the Trustees do not need to be reappointed in any one year. The power of appointing a new Trustee or Trustees is vested in the Settlor (David Laing) during his life.
The policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of new Trustees is decided by the continuing Trustees prior to appointment.
Trustees
Trustees work on a gratuitous basis and may request for reimbursable out of pocket expenses.
Investment Policy
Investments are held in a discretionary management basis with the Foundations Fund managers and may also be held in any approved vehicle.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE DAVID LAING FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The David Laing Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 5 April 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 5 April 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Auditors' 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.
Conclusions 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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 where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE DAVID LAING FOUNDATION
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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:
We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: timing of recognition of investment income and posting of unusual journals. We discussed these risks with client management, designed audit procedures to test the timing of income, reviewed a sample of journals to confirm they were appropriate and reviewed areas of judgement for indicators of management bias to address these risks.
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 Report of the Independent Auditors.
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 auditors' 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
Legal form
The Foundation is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. Its registered charity number and principal address is shown in the Trustees Report.
Going Concern
There are no material going concern uncertainties.
Significant judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the charity accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the individual accounting policies below.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Tangible fixed assets for use by charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
- Freehold property - over 50 years
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where parts of an item of property have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property.

THE DAVID LAING FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Tangible fixed assets for use by charity
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The trustees are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The trustees consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Investments
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at fair value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of fair value.
Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Debtors 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 the statement of comprehensive income under administrative expenses.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.
