## **HORNE FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **for the year ended 5 April 2024**
## **Trustees report**
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (second edition) and Financial Reporting Standard FRS102.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Constitution**
The foundation was established and is governed by a Trust Deed dated 23 October 1981. All of the trustees, who are shown on the previous page, served throughout the year. The foundation is a registered charity and has confirmed its charitable status with HM Revenue and Customs.
The power to appoint new trustees rests with the existing trustees.
## **Organisation structure**
The trustees meet at three monthly intervals to agree donations and to monitor finances. Day to day administration is performed on an occasional basis from the trustees home.
## **Related Parties**
Details of transactions between trustees and the charity are given in note 9 of the financial statements.
## **Risk review**
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and procedures have been established to mitigate those risks.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objects of the charity**
The objects of the charity are the advancement of education and other such charitable purposes as the trustees may determine. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the grant making policy for the year.
It continues to be the intention of the trustees to transfer the investments held by the organisation to a charity, or group of charities, where they would be better used to fulfil the objects of the charity.
## **Grant making policy**
The policy of the trustees is to make substantial grants towards major educational projects that involve new buildings, once every few years. In addition, there are regular smaller donations to local projects in the Northampton and Oxfordshire area, and student bursaries for higher education through Northampton schools. One off donations to National Charities are also made when the trustees deem appropriate.
The trustees are aware that in recent years National Charities have been the main beneficiaries of the charity. However, it is their intention to transfer the investments held to a charity, or group of charities, that share The Horne Foundation's charitable objectives so that they can be better utilised.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The policy is to normally distribute an amount approximately equal to the investment income received. This is not strictly adhered to since large donations towards building projects are not regularly spaced.
## **Financial**
The financial progress of the foundation is disclosed in the financial statements. Details of the grants made are disclosed in note 4. Total investments at 5 April 2024 were £1,172,566 (2023 ‐ £1,298,794) which resulted in a decrease of £126,228.
The net assets of the fund, at 5 April 2024, are £ 1,170,715 (2023: £1,298,477).

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
The plan for the future is to still close down the Foundation during the next financial year. The portfolio of investments handled by Rathbones Investments has been converted to cash to facilitate the donations. There now remains a balance of £1,172,000 held by rathbones and the Trustees plan to donate most of this during the next six months.

## **HORNE FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 5 April 2024**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## _**Basis of preparation**_
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to the accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011. The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year.
## _**Going Concern**_
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees are of the opinion that sufficient funds are available to enable the charity to continue operating.
## _**Income**_
Dividends are accounted for on a receivable basis. Interest is accounted for on an accruals basis.
## _**Expenditure**_
Expenditure is classified under type of expense, and accounted for on an accruals basis. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient, except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled.
Costs of generating funds comprise investment management fees. Governance costs comprise costs for the running of the charity, itself, as an organisation.
## _**Investments**_
Investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their market value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
## _**Funds**_
The unrestricted general funds represent funds which are available for use, at the discretion of the trustees, in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity, and which have not been designated for specific purposes.
All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their purchase value. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between fair value at the year end and their carrying value.
