## **PARHAM PARK TRUST (1984)**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the 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 the notes to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, 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 published in October 2019.
## **Objectives and activities**
The Trustees may pay or apply the unrestricted capital and income of the Charity to or for such charitable institutions or purposes as the Trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.
The main objective of the trust is to provide sufficient funding on a sustainable basis to enable Parham Park Limited (a registered charity) to achieve its objectives of preserving, maintaining and improving the Trustees' property at Parham Park (which comprises an Elizabethan mansion with a garden, outbuildings and amenity land which are opened to members of the public). The trust also owns the Northwick Business Centre at Northwick, Blockley, Gloucestershire which provides low-cost industrial units.
The Charity aims to meet the running costs of these objectives from the investment income and rents received from the Northwick Business Centre. The Trustees carry out these objectives by regularly considering appeals from other charities and making policy and funding decisions whilst meeting annually to review strategy and performance of the Charity.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the donations policy for the year. The benefit that arises is the provision of funding to organisations that demonstrate charitable purpose.
The provision of funding to Parham Park Limited for the preservation and maintenance of the historic estate provides a benefit to the public in furthering the education and appreciation of our national heritage. The estate is open to the general public from Easter to October each year. It includes a grade 1 listed Elizabethan mansion which houses numerous rare portraits, items of furniture and needlework collections of national importance. The grounds and surrounding landscape are also recognised to be of significant heritage importance.
## **Achievements and performance**
During the year the Trustees made grants totalling £626,587 [2023: £268,298] in furtherance of their objectives and continue to make grants to charitable organisations both on a one-off and recurring basis. The larger grants awarded during the year are stated in the notes to the financial statements.
The Trustees are pleased with the progress made in the financial year ended 5 April 2024 and look forward to expanding their work with many other charities in the years to come.
## **Financial review**
The Trustees received £883,237 in investment income in the current year [2023: £749,548] and the Trustees have achieved their intention of spending the income on charitable activities.
The trustees have revalued the Investment Properties to a fair value at 5 April 2024. Unless the trustees deem there has been a material change in market value, the policy of revaluation is based on a five year period. The next revaluation of the Investment Properties is expected to be on 5 April 2029.
Net outgoing resources for the year were £178,240 [2023: outgoing £76,385]. In addition the Trust realised a gain on investments of £343,325 [2023: gain £132,199] and made an unrealised gain of £657,734 [2023: loss £732,963]. The net incoming movement on funds was £822,819 [2023: outgoing £677,149].

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
## **Investment policy**
The Trustees have instructed the Investment Manager that the portfolio is to be invested to produce a suitable mixture of income in order that the level of grants may be maintained and capital growth to secure the future of the Charity over the coming years. The Trustees are confident that the future income stream is secure.
The investment policy is monitored by regular investment reports and meetings with the Investment Manager. A breakdown of the investments held during the financial year ended 5 April 2024 can be seen on page 10.
## **Risk Management**
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and steps taken to mitigate those risks.
The main risk to the Charity concerns the investments held. The Trustees have mitigated this risk by engaging Cazenove Capital to manage the investments and monitor the portfolio and financial risks to the Charity. The Trustees regularly review the valuation of investments and the income stream generated.
The Trustees have satisfied themselves that the trust is a going concern and has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charitable activities are funded by the investment portfolio and although Covid-19 did have a negative impact on this, the portfolio has recovered with sufficient value to support continued grant making.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the intention of the Trustees to sustain the unrestricted funds at a level which will provide sufficient funds for the level of grants paid and to cover the Charity's management and administration costs.
At the Balance Sheet date the unrestricted reserves amounted to £36,501,328.
## **Future Plans**
The Charity's objective is to ensure funds are available for grants to be made to Parham Park Limited to ensure that the Estate is adequately preserved and maintained. It is envisaged that funding requirements will remain the same.
The Trustees do not envisage any material change to the operation of the Charity in the long-term and the investments will continue to be managed on a similar basis as they are now. Notwithstanding this, the Trustees remain flexible in terms of the type of organisations they support.
During the financial year, the Trustees commenced the purchase of property known as 1-2 New Town Cottages in Storrington, West Sussex for an agreed price of £300,000. At the Balance Sheet date, these funds were held with the Trustees' Solicitor with completion taking place on 14 May 2024.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Trust has charitable status and was set up by Mrs V M Tritton by Deed dated 16 February 1984.
The management of the Charity is vested in the Trustees and they actively review the perceived major risks which the Charity faces and the Trustees are satisfied that the systems are in place to mitigate those risks.
The Trustees have received appropriate briefing on their responsibilities under the law relating to charities and their duty to ensure that their charitable activities are for the public benefit. The appointment of new trustees is vested in the Settlor during their life. The selection of future trustees will have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Charity. Induction and training for trustees is provided where relevant.

## **PARHAM PARK TRUST (1984)**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable regulations). Under that law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (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.

## **PARHAM PARK TRUST (1984)**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Parham Park Trust (1984) (the 'charity') for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting 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 2024, 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 Auditor's 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 are 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 trustees' annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report 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 in relation where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the trustees' report 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.

## **PARHAM PARK TRUST (1984)**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
## **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 auditor 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 obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity via discussions with the trusteesand our previous knowledge of the charity. This identified that the most significant laws and regulations relate to the form and content of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011, the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and Financial Reporting Standard 102. The charity complies with these laws and regulations by using appropriately qualified professionals to prepare the financial statements.
As part of our planning process we assessed susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatements, including how fraud might occur by making an assessment of the key risks. The key risks identified in respect of Parham Park Trust (1984) are revenue recognition and eligibility of charitable giving. The trustees confirmed no actual, suspected or alleged cases of fraud.
Based on this assessment we designed our audit procedures to address these key risk areas with an emphasis on testing the income and gains on the investments, the income on investment property and the charitable donations made.
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.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
## **PARHAM PARK TRUST (1984)**
## **1 Statutory Information**
Parham Park Trust (1984) is a registered charity. The registered number and principal office address can be found in the Report of the Trustees.
## **2 Accounting Policies**
## **a) Basis of financial statements preparation**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity, 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been removed.
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **b) Nature of funds**
All funds held are unrestricted and the Trustees are free to use them in accordance with the charitable objects.
## **c) Fixed asset investments**
Investments are stated at market value at the Balance Sheet date. Overseas investments are translated into sterling at the rates ruling at the year end. The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) includes the net gains and losses on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
## **d) Income**
Income is recognised in the SOFA once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **e) 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 costs related to that 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.
## **f) Charitable grants**
Grants payable are recognised in the SOFA when they are approved by the Trustees and the recipient has been informed of the amount to be paid.

**PARHAM PARK TRUST (1984)**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
## (Continued)
## **g) Foreign currencies**
Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the Balance Sheet date monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the rate ruling at that date. All exchange differences are dealt with in the SOFA.
## **h) Heritage Assets**
Property known as Parham Park, Pulborough, West Sussex is subject to a 99 year lease to Parham Park Limited which commenced on 16 July 2013. It is carried at cost less any provision for diminution of value. No depreciation is charged. It is considered by the Trustees that any depreciation charged would not be material in the context of these financial statements.
The chattels included in the balance sheet are shown at the fair value applicable at the date of donation, with adjustments for subsequent additions and disposals made. In addition the Executors of the Estate of Mrs V M Tritton by Deed of Appointment dated 6 July 1995 appointed various chattels to the charity. These have been included at nil value because they were exempted from IHT on the death of Mrs Tritton. Values will be obtained on any sale of these chattels.
## **i) Investment property**
Investment properties for which fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in 'net gains/(losses) on investments' in the SOFA.
## **j) Irrecoverable VAT**
Irrecoverable VAT is written off to the same expense category in which the actual expenditure was incurred.
## **3 Remuneration of Trustees**
In the financial year to 5 April 2024 the Trustees did not receive any remuneration or have their expenses reimbursed by the Charity. Dickinson Trust Limited charged administration expenses of £44,102 [2023: £40,870].
