## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021**_ 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2021. 

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 charity's  Deed of Arrangement dated 26 November 1979 which was amended on 16 June 2020, the Charities Act 2011 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)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Trust is a charitable Trust established by the Will of the late Mrs Calypso Browning who died on 15 October 1978, as varied by a Deed of Arrangement dated 26 November 1979 which was amended 16 June 2020 . Trustees are required to distribute the income among charitable societies for the housing of persons in need and for animal welfare. The Trust distributes all income to those societies accordingly. 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The Trustees undertake no activities to which the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit applies. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Our main activity is providing grants to animal welfare and homelessness charities. We have a number of charities that we are committed to give  to  because of our founding instrument – the will of Calypso Browning. We continue to give to these charities and also others that have a particularly strong case for our support. We prefer smaller charities and those who are tackl ing very tangible issues. Vicky Browning leads on homelessness grants and Joe Saxton leads on animal welfare. Distributions made in the year are detailed on page  8 . 

The value of investments held by the Trust has increased in the year from £879,304 to £942,912. 

Trust income and expenditure is as detailed in the statement of financial activities as detailed on page 4. 

## **Financial review** 

The total unrestricted funds in hand at the end of the year were £65,352 which is an increase of £33,955 this year. The total endowment funds at the end of the year were £950,223 which is an increase of £48,161 this year. 

The Trust distributes all its income to the charitable societies. Undistributed income at the year end is not a reserve, but only the result of fluctuating income and timing of distributions. During this year, and in the period since then, there have been no significant changes in income of the trust or in the pattern of distribution. 

The trustees  have  assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The investments are managed by Brewin Dolphin Ltd with an investment objective guideline for Income and Growth Return and the risk classification is classed as 'Diversified Risk'.

## **CALYPSO BROWNING TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Deed of Arranagement, the Charities Act 2011 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)”. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements 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 Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

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

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

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. Thus the trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.2 Charitable funds** 

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

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

## **1.3 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the charity 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. 

## **1.4 Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

## **1.5 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.
