TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
After the payment of certain specific expenses the net yearly income of the Foundation shall be applied in one or more of the following ways:
a) The provision for persons resident in the beneficial area of library facilities additional to those normally provided by the Council of the London Borough of Barnet under Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964.
b) The promotion in the beneficial area of education in, and appreciation of, art (including music).
c) The provision, or assistance towards the provision, for the purpose of improving the conditions of life for persons resident in the beneficial area of facilities for recreation or other leisure-time occupation.
d) The award to beneficiaries of scholarships, bursaries or maintenance allowances tenable either:
i) At any school, college, university or other educational establishment approved for the purpose by the Trustees, or
ii) For the purpose of enabling the holders to undertake travel in furtherance of their education or to study music or arts.
e) The granting of financial assistance for outfits, clothing, tools, instruments or books to beneficiaries to help them on leaving school, university or other educational establishment to prepare for, or to enter a profession, trade or calling.
f) The advancement of education of beneficiaries in such ways as the Trustees may from time to time determine.
In the application of the income of the Foundation, the Trustees shall have regard to the desirability of not applying that income for purposes for which money is available from public funds. All decisions are made by the Trustees and voting is by a simple majority.
'Beneficial Area' means the Ecclesiastical Parishes of Monken Hadley and Chipping Barnet, together with Arkley and any future changes to the said Ecclesiastical Parish of Chipping Barnet with Arkley as defined in 1984. This will include the Team Parishes of St Peter's, Arkley, St Stephen's, Bells Hill and St Mark's, Barnet Vale. 'Beneficiaries' means persons ordinarily resident in the beneficial area who, in the opinion of the Trustees, are in need of financial assistance.
Public benefit
The Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's published guidance on the operation of the public benefit requirement. The Trustees consider the public benefit provided to be the promotion of education in or appreciation of art, music and scientific studies, and the provision or assistance towards the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupations, providing support to the community within the beneficial area.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Trustees are pleased to report that rents from the Hyde Institute were received throughout the year.
The Trustees were able to make grants, as they are confident that unrestricted funds are being maintained as the Hyde Institute has a tenant.
During the course of the year, the Trustees acted in accordance with the objectives of the charity and they will continue to do so. Dr R Burstow continued to advise the Trustees in relation to the requirements of GDPR.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The trustees are pleased that the property was rented out throughout the year. Rental income and service charges amounted to £73,506 (2024: £73,111), together with £4,644 (2024: £4,766) of investment income. Expenditure totalled £76,409 (2024: £57,115). Also there were net gains on investments of £8,580 (2024: net gains of £5,934).
The overall net movement in the year was a surplus of £10,321 (2024: surplus of £26,696). Of this amount, before transfers between funds, £764 was deducted from (2024: £18,567 was added to) the general unrestricted fund; £3,579 (2024: £3,220) was added to the unrestricted sinking fund; £252 was deducted from (2024: £624 was added to) the restricted extra-ordinary repairs fund; and £7,758 (2024: £4,285) was added to the endowment fund.
In 2006, the trustees designated some of the unrestricted funds as a property sinking fund to be used in covering costs when the lease on the property terminated. The trustees have agreed to transfer an amount to this sinking fund each year. This year, the trustees transferred £25,000 (2024: £15,000) to this designated fund.
The Charity's trust deed used to require the Trustees to transfer £100 per annum to the extra-ordinary repairs restricted fund from the general fund. However, last year the trustees have agreed to cancel this arrangement because of the administrative burden. They applied to the Charity Commission to have this change reflected in the Trust Deed. The Charity Commission have accepted this change and therefore, there will be no further transfers of £100 per annum to the extra-ordinary repairs restricted fund from the general fund.
At the year end, the general unrestricted fund balance was £47,286 (2024: £73,050), the unrestricted property sinking fund was £92,375 (2024: £63,796), the restricted investment property fund - revaluation reserve was £2,450,000 (2024: £2,450,000); the restricted extra-ordinary repairs fund was £11,338 (2024: £11,590); and the endowment fund was £115,922 (2024: £108,164), with overall funds totalling £2,716,921 (2024: £2,706,600).
The full financial position is set out in greater detail on the attached pages 7 to 18.
Investment policy and objectives
From the £75,000 recouped as a permanent endowment and with the subsequent income received, the endowment fund stood at £115,922 (2024: £108,164) at the year end. Of this £112,310 (2024: £104,552) was invested in a cautious fund held by the Stockbroker and the balance in a COIF deposit account.
Lonsdale Services Limited act as stockbroker and financial adviser to the Trustees and act in a discretionary capacity. The focus on the fund investments is expected to give the best performance in terms of overall return rather than attempting to strike the right balance between capital growth and income. The Trustees allocated the broker's annual management charges to the market value change on the endowment fund investments in the Statement of Financial Statements.
The Trustees will continue to recommend a cautious view on investments.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
After the payment of certain specific expenses the Trustees are required to apply the income of the Charity as set out on page 1 of these accounts. The Trustees continue to promote awareness of the available funds so that in future unrestricted general funds will be kept to a minimum.
Unrestricted property sinking fund
In June 2006, the Trustees designated funds to meet expenses anticipated at the termination of the lease. Monies were placed in a COIF deposit fund and interest is accumulated. Interest received during the year amounted to £3,579 (2024: £3,220) and was credited to this fund, together with a transfer of £25,000 from the general fund in order to build up this fund for future expenditure on the building. At 31 December 2025 such accumulations amounted to £92,375 (2024: £63,796).
Restricted extra-ordinary repairs fund
The accumulated balance on the fund at the end of 1993 was applied towards the building and refurbishment costs incurred during 1994. The small decrease in the market value of the investment relating to this fund is deducted from the balance and at 31 December 2025 such accumulations amounted to £11,338 (2024: £11,590).
Restricted investment property fund - revaluation reserve
The Charity own as an investment, The Hyde Institute, Church Passage, Barnet. At 31 December 2025 the fair value of the freehold investment property remained unchanged and was valued at £2,450,000 and hence equates to the value of this revaluation reserve fund.
Endowment fund
The Charity Commission agreed to the recoupment of £75,000 to endowment over fifteen years ending in 2011. The £75,000 set aside from income during 1996-2010 was held with the Stockbrokers and COIF deposit account at the year end. At 31 December 2025 such accumulations amounted to £115,922 (2024: £108,164), comprising £112,310 (2024: £104,552) held with the Stockbrokers and £3,612 (2024: £3,612) included in the COIF deposit account.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Founded by the will of Julia Hyde proved on 23rd December 1888 and now regulated by the said will and by schemes of the Charity Commissioners dated 29th May 1930 and 19th February 1946, a scheme made by the Secretary of State for Education and Science on 3rd September 1970 and further schemes of the Commissioners on 8th October 1982, 4th June 1985, 14th February 1996, 14th July 2010 and as amended on 30th June 2016, 8th September 2017 and 30th January 2025.
In January 2026, the Trustees have decided to convert the Charity into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The formation will be undertaken in 2026.
Organisational structure
The Trustees meet quarterly. All decisions are made by the Trustees and voting by a simple majority. During meetings, if a personal or beneficial interest is identified, the Trustee does not participate in the discussion, decision and voting in relation to the grant application.
Induction and training of new trustees
The Chairman of the Trustees is responsible for the induction of any new Trustee. This involves awareness of a Trustees' Responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach to the Founder's ideas. A new Trustee would receive copies of the previous year's report and accounts and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet 'The Essential Trustee: What you need to know, what you need to do'.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Risk Management
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Having given consideration to any possible risks to the viability of the charity, the Trustees believe a cautious approach to investment is appropriate. The day to day management of the charity's affairs and of its financial procedures follows straightforward accepted procedures in such a way as to present no fundamental difficulty if the Clerk were incapacitated. The insurance on the Hyde Institute is met by the lessees, if there is one, otherwise it is borne by the charity. The Trustees have in place public liability cover. In these circumstances the Trustees see no need to make any special provision either in finance or in management.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

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

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The charity is not part of any group and therefore these financial statements cover the reporting entity only.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
Going concern
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will continue to operate for the foreseeable future so these financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.
Legal status of the charity
The charity is unincorporated and is formed by an indenture dated 23rd December 1888. Further details are noted within the report of trustees on page 3 of these accounts.
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
-
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
-
the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d);
-
the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c).
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. In the trustees' opinion, there are no significant judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty.
Income
All income is recognised in the statement of financial activities once the charity is entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
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 the 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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Charitable activities
The charitable activities relate to grants paid to various individuals and organisations as detailed in the notes to these accounts.
Governance costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of Trustees' meetings and costs of any legal or professional advice to Trustees on governance or constitutional matters. Expenditure is recognised when incurred and includes VAT which cannot be recovered.
