FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The Iruslees present their annual reKK>rt together with the audited financial stslements for the year from 1
January 2024 10 31 December 2024. The trustees confim that the annual rew)rt and financial statements of the
Trust comply wth the current statutory requirements, the requirements of Ihe Trusvs goveming document and
the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice ISORP}, applicable to charitses preparing their
accounts in accordance wlh the Financial Reporting Standards in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102)

Objectives and actNities
a. Pollcles and objectivgs
The trustees. policy is to sustsin the value of Ihe Trust's endowmenl f4Jnd in real terms over the long term from
which lo generate an annual return lo support local, national and international charities working in the area of
medical care and research, environment protection. inlemalional aid. animal welfare, community projects,
social mobility, educabon proiecls and arts outreach.
The main 0tr4"eclive of the Iruslees during the period under ￿VIeW was to distribute grants in line with the Trust's
policy. The trustees achieved this by responding lo applications for grants from local. national, and international
charities. The allocation of grants behveen different categories of charitable activity has iemained similar lo the
Previous year.
During 2024 a sum of 2% of the endowment's average value over the previous 2 years was paid down for
distribution as grants. This is generated from paid out dividends and interest which may be incremented
through capital sales rf required. Effective from January 1st 2025 this draw(k)vm has increased lo 3%.
increasing the Trusys revenue by 50%
In setting objectives and planning for activilies. the trustees have gwen due consideration lo general guidance
published by the Charity commi￿on relating to public benefit. including Ihe guidance 'Public benefit". running a
charity IP821'.
Following a strategic Teview. the trustees have decided to make grar)Is to fewer, larger national and
international charities and to considerably reduce the number of charities the Trust has previously supported.
The Iruslees regret that this means Ihal they are unable to cor6ider new unsolic¢ted applications for the
foreseeable future. They may however on occagon. invite organisab.ons lo submit a formal application. FaclDrs
such as nalionality. elhnicity, gender. age, ¢Jisability. sexual orieniabon and religion are not taken into account
when considering whether a granl should be made. Financial circumstances wll be relevant only in determining
the amount of a giant which can be made.
b. Strategy for achieving the Trusvs ob5•¢tives
The strategy for achieving the Trust's objectives is for the Iruslees lo meet and asses8 applications which a
likely lo contribute lo the strategic policy and ot¥"ectives of the Trust. Subsequently to dislribule the Trust's
income through grants lo successful 8pplicanls. Each year Ihe trustees support around 45 charities with major
grants averaging £60.OfKI and a further 45 charities with smaller grants averaging £10,OOL). In recent years the
Iruslee5 have granted £6 million lo fv40 endoV￿nenI funds wlhin the Northamplonshire Community Foundalic>n,

Auditors. rè8ponslbllltl•s for tho audlt of the financial slatgments
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charkties Act 2011 and retK)rt in accordance wlh
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable a$Surar￿ about vthelher the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misslalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error. and lo issue an Audilofs, report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assu{an￿. bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS {UKI will a￿ayS detect a material misslalemenl when il exists. Misslalemenls can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregale, they could reasonably be
expected lo influence the economic decisions of usws tsken on the ba￿S of these financial slalemenls.
Irregularities, induding fraud. are instances of non-compliance wth laws and regulalions. We design
procedures in line our reSpOn￿bIlItIeS, outlined aLMJve, lo delecl material misstatements in respect of
iiregularilies, including fraud. The extenl to which our procedures ale capabie of del￿tIng irregularities,
including fraud is detsiled below.
Due to the field in which the Charity 0￿rates, we have Klentified the followng areas as those most likely to
have a material impact on the financial slalements.. GDPR.. serious inadent rewrting and compli8￿e with the
Chaiities Act 2011.
Our approach lo identifying and asse&sing the risks of material misstalemenl in respect of ifregularilies,
including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows..
Enquiries wlh management about any known or su¥*cted instsnces of non-compliance with laws and
regulations. a￿l￿entS in Ihe workplace and fraud"
Reviewng financial slalemenl disclosures and testing lo gjpporting documentation to assess the
compliance with applicable laws and regulations",
Auditing the risk of managemenl override of contro15. induding through testing journal entries and other
adjuslmenls for appropriateness.
Because of the inherenl limiialions of an audit. there is a risk that will not deted all irregularities. including
those leading lo a male¥ial misstatement in the financial slalements or non-compliance wlh regulation. This
risk increases the more that Complian￿ wlh a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial slatemenls. as we will be less likely lo ttcwie aware of InStan￿S of non<ompliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional Con￿alment, forgery, collusion. omission or MI￿epreSenIa￿"0n.
