THE LESLIE MARY CARTER CHARITABLE TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of The Leslie Mary Carter Charitable Trust for the year 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the Charity as set out in its Trust Deed are “To apply the Trust Fund and the income thereof upon such Charitable Trusts and for such Charitable purposes and in such shares or proportions as the Trustees shall in their uncontrolled discretion from time to time determine."

In pursuance of this aim the Charity makes grants to organisations, mainly those local to the late Miss Carter, in Northeast Essex and Southern Suffolk, as well as national charities.

The Trustees receive grant applications either by post or email. Prior to their meetings the Trustees establish the income which is available for distribution. The Trustees review all applications received and shortlist those which are felt to reflect the known interests of the founder and make decisions accordingly.

In carrying out their activities the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

During the year, the Charity awarded grants of £290,500 (2022 - £75,000) to selected charities. By their programme of grants the Trustees have been able to support local organisations as well as providing much needed funding to national organisations.

Financial Review

At 31 December 2023 the Charity had total funds of £7.89m (2022 - £7.84m), invested in a portfolio of shares, and various rental properties, which generate income in the form of dividends and rental income. At 31 December 2023 the value of quoted investments was £5,118,975 (2022 - £4,942,415), unquoted private company shares were £395,500 (2022 - £395,500) and rental properties £2,265,000 (2022 - £2,295,000). Income from quoted investments were £140,778 (2022 - £131,528), unquoted investments £45,200 (2022 - £45,199) and rental income £44,180 (2022 - £38,318). The average rate of return of quoted investments was 3%. This is line with the Trustees’ expectation.

After taking into account the grants paid the Charity had net income of £84,234 (2022 - net expenditure £412,679).

It is the Charity’s investment policy to invest surplus funds in an investment portfolio managed by J M Finn. The expectation is that the investments will achieve a return of between 2 and 3%. The portfolio is invested by J M Finn in a progressive sector whereby 70 - 90% is in stocks and shares (currently 85%). The Charity adopts an ethical policy in that the Trustees do not invest in tobacco products and limit investment in armament products.

The Trustees have identified the investment performance of its portfolio of listed and unlisted investments and investment properties as being the major risk or uncertainty facing the Charity. This risk is managed by taking appropriate advice from investment and property specialists

It is the policy of Trustees to invest all surplus funds and as overhead costs are limited the Charity does not need to keep separate reserves. Grants paid are funded from current year’s income.

Plans for the Future

The Trustees aim to ensure the Funds of the Charity are appropriately invested and to continue the existing programme of Grant Funding.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Leslie Mary Carter Charitable Trust ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

Signed:

Dated: 23-Apr-2026

THE LESLIE MARY CARTER CHARITABLE TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. General information

The Leslie Mary Carter Charitable Trust is an unincorporated Charity registered in England and Wales.

The address of the principal office is given in the Charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.

The trusts objectives are to apply the Trust Fund and the income thereof upon such Charitable Trusts and for such Charitable purposes and in such shares or proportions as the Trustees shall in their uncontrolled discretion from time to time determine.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Leslie Mary Carter Charitable 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.

2.2 Going concern

The Charitable Trust has significant assets. In the opinion of the Trustees, the Charity is therefore a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and for the foreseeable future. The accounts are accordingly prepared on this basis.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

THE LESLIE MARY CARTER CHARITABLE TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Investments

Listed investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.

Unlisted investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.

2.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

THE LESLIE MARY CARTER CHARITABLE TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.8 Liabilities and provisions (continued)

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.9 Financial instruments

The Charity only 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 their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.10 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted 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 other purposes.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The main estimate used is the valuation of the Charity's investment properties, which are valued by reference to the anticipated market value of the property at the valuation date using comparable evidence.

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgment:

There are no critical areas of judgment in these accounts.
