## **WILLIAM PRICE CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ 

The Trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors’ report of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Background of the Charity** 

William Price, a timber merchant of Fareham, drew up a will in 1721 which, after his death, founded a blue coat school in his town house. Price’s charity was formed to support the school which went through various phases, including relocation, before being closed in 1984. The Charity was reformed in 1989 as a grant making educational trust and in 1994 the school site in Fareham was sold to provide the permanent endowment of the new charity. In 2006, the permanent endowment was further enhanced when the proceeds of sale of a former Elementary School, also in Fareham, were transferred to the charity to administer. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 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 (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Object of the Charity** 

The object of the Trust is the promotion of Christian education of persons under the age of 25 years who live in the area of benefit, defined as the three ecclesiastical parishes of St Peter & St Paul, Holy Trinity with St Columba and St John the Evangelist, all of Fareham. These three parishes have the same area as the original Fareham town parish, but do not cover the whole area of the Fareham Borough. 

## **Structure and Governance** 

The Governing Document of the William Price Charitable Trust is the 1993 Charity Commission Scheme which appoints the William Price Trust Company as its trustee. Other than assets held in trust, the Trust Company holds no assets and with no financial transactions in its own right its accounts are dormant. Reference and administrative details of the Company members, who are also the charity trustees, and their professional advisers are shown at Annex A, 

The Company’s Articles of Association register 19 Company members, of whom three are Incumbents of the Fareham town parishes, three are nominated by those parish councils and four others are nominated by appointing bodies – the Bishop of Portsmouth (1), Fareham Borough Council (2), and Hampshire County Council (1). A further nine members are co-opted, and these as far as practicable, through residence, occupation, employment or otherwise have special knowledge of the area or are, or have been, teachers in that area. Potential co-opted members are invited by Trustees to submit a curriculum vitae for consideration by them. If found acceptable, they are then invited by the Clerk to attend the first General Meeting of the Trust. Before attending this first meeting, they are required to sign and declare their willingness to act as a charity trustee and to act in the trust of the Governing Document. On appointment members are sent full information on the charity and given copies of the Governing Document and Memorandum & Articles of Association. 

## **Management** 

Day-to-day management is delegated to the Company Director and Company Secretary, who are Chairman and Clerk respectively of the Charitable Trust. The members of the Company (the Charity Trustees) have established three committees to advise separately on policy, finance and grants and of these, the Finance and Grants committees report every six months to a General Meeting of the Company. The composition of the committees is shown at Annex A. 

The Chairman of the Trust is elected at the Annual General Meeting of the Trust Company by a majority of the Trustees. Similarly, the chair of each of the committees is elected at the first meeting following the AGM by a majority of the committee members. 

The remuneration of the Clerk is decided by the Finance Committee at its first meeting following the anniversary of his appointment 

## **Risk Management.** 

No major risks have been identified. Expenditure can be made by electronic transfer from the relatively small current account. A chequebook is under the control of the secretary and all transactions require two authorisations and in the case of cheques, two signatures. 

A hard drive is used to back up the Clerk’s PC and is kept at a separate location in a fire proof safe.

WILLIAM PRICE CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
object1￿8 of the Trustees.
The Trustees place their emphasis on assistlng and supporting both indrviduals and educAtional establishments in
the study of those subjects and the Pufsuit of those activities which in the opinion of the tNste8s do not command
adequate priority in education. The typ8s of projects that are given priority are those that enrich the quallty of life
and widan horizons, encourage participation and appr6ciation of th8 arts. develop good citizenship and encourage
help in the communty and lo¢al environmenL
Achlevements and performance
For this year. th8 OV8rall expenditure on grants was £172.276.
M05t schools have projects which requ1￿ outside fijnding and to achieve these they apply for grants from the
charfty which are. in aggr8gat8. usually In excess of the money available. The main task for the trustees has
therefore been to make choices from the appllcatlons In ac￿)rdanCe wrth their objectives. In order to 8nsure an
equabl8 spread between the large and small schools the number of pupils in each sthool is taken into consideratlon
as a factor in the decision-making. Overdll. the trusteès ar8 pleased that most grants shown in Annex B now fall
wthin thelr objectives and consider that the charity is maklng a wel(x)me and positive contrlbution to support th6
educatlon of the young in the benefft area.
There are 18 schools. one College and four eligtble churches substantialty serving the area of benefit and these are
canvassed for applications tWiC8 a year for projects which would fall within th8 provisions of the &)v8rning
Document. After sGruliny by the Grants Committee. and having regard to the available funds, the trustees at a
General Meeting approved the grants shown in Annex B, where it will be seen that the expenditu￿ on grants lo the
schools and churches vras £136,730.
There were 18 eligible requests for individuals to recelv8 asslstance grants during the year, a decfease on last year
broughl about by the lasting impact of the p8ndemlc and schools being closed for long periods In addtion to the
overall economlc downtum. The overall total for assistsnce grants was £7.096. Larger grants, for universitylcollegel
apprentlceship fees and overseas projects. were made to 11 indmduals dudng the year and for thes8 was awarded
£15,450.
The tru8t88s have established a bursary for the t¥vo private Schools in the area (now one following the dosure of
Wykeham House School) offering oneaoff emergency help with fe8s on application by the schools, to give help for
children whose parents have run into financial diffiojlty. There were applications this year.
Far•ham Wollarg Tru8L
William Price's onginal bequests were both to found a sch(x)l and to assist the pcxjr wid¢)ws of Fareham. To cover
the s8cond bequest the Goveming Document requires this Trust to make an annual payment to the Fa￿harn
Welfare Trust, into which the original Widows, Charity was merged. The Goveming Document has been amended
to enable the trustees to carry out an annual review of this payment and this year a payment of £13,000 was
approved as requesled by the Welfare Trust to assist Thardship" grants.

WILLIAM PRICE CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Farnham College AgreemènL
Following an e8rfier commitment by the trusle8s. the Goveming Document pemiitted pa￿ent of £1,000,000 of the
sale proce8ds from Pri￿.$ site towards the ￿)sts inwrred by Hampshire County Council in improving and extending
the buildings at Fareham College. subject to repayment in the event of change of use of the College. However
before Price's site was sold the 1992 Higher Education Act changed the ownership of the College buildings to a
College Corporation and the commilment was therefor8 r8ferred to the Education Assets Board to decide who
should r8C8lve the payment and who should make repayment in the event of change of use. By the year 2000 th8
matter had b88n decided. thè Trust paid £1,000.000 to Hampshire County Council and an agreement was mad8
with Fareham College to repay to the Tnjst a sum equal to 7.33% of the then valuation of th8 College or proceeds of
sale in the event of change of use. This contlnu8S to r8present a potential asset for the Trust. Th8 College sold a
proportlon of its land for housing to raise th8 capital n8c8ssary to fvnd major building and refiJrbk8hment work on the
remainder of the Sit8. A full valuation was made of the reduced sit8 arKI Its new and rèfurbished buldings in 2014
whlch reported a figure considerably higher than thè original valuation. The Trustees, after taking legal advice,
agreed to thls salè taking place retaining their 7.33% in the reduced stle.
The Trust is required to recoup the above Capital expenditure and to ensur8, as far as is practicable. that by th8 8nd
of a p8riod of 30 years from 2002 th8 reduction in the ￿1 value of the assets is made good by the charity. This
recoupment commenced in the financial year 2013114 at a value of £29.000 and will continue annually until
2030131.
Flnanclal rnvlew
The overriding financial objedive of the trustees is to maintain l¢xg term gr<Mth of the captial fund to ensure that the
Trust survives as a viable charity throughout the 21st century and beyond. and thus to be able to treat future
beneficiaries even handedly with those of th8 present. In the medium tenn the aim is to periodically review and
adjust, as may prove necessary and expedient the Investrn8nts In the light of changing e¢onomlc condltions.
thereby to ensure that sufficient fijnds are available to meet the present and future objectlves of the Trust, whilst
maintaining long-t8m growth. The Investment Adviser and Flnance Committee meet at six monthly intervals to
view the Inveslment policy and any changes to Investments In the endowment fund. The Committee a19)
recommends the budget for grants from th8 5ncome fund for the followlng period.
The Trust has a highly diverse asset allocation with hoklings in fixed interest {govemment gilts and corporate
Ix)ndsl, equlties (UK and intemational), commercial property, in addition to the cash held. The investments are all
held Ma cdlective investment schemes such as unit trusts and OEICS and include some tax exempt Common
Investment Funds. The collectNe investment schemes are held In order to dSversify the risk of the nvestment
portfolio. During the year the Trustees reviewed and adopted a revised Investment Poli¢y whith, altPDugh not
applying any specific ethlcal investrnent criteria. ConfiM￿d the Trustees preference for investments ihat reflect good
Envlronmentsl, Social and Gov8man¢e standards. It is therefore important that th8 o)mpanies underfylng the Trusts
Investments can demonstrate posltlve environmentsl (such as wothing to reduce thelr carbon footprint) and societal
(such as improvlng peoples living cnnditlons and having due regard to worker5 and human rights, fairness and
equality) impact and demonstrate good standards of governance (such as responsibfe executlve pay, anti-comjptlon
polloes. good corporate ethlcs and board and employee diversity).
Following the closure of Wykeham House School and the dlsposal of its assets, its Trustees declded that the
surplus funds (£156,789.60) should be given to the William Pric8 Trust dwrity to assist In furthering its aims. These
funds wer8 allocated to a separate General Investment Account within Transact such that, in accordaro with thè
conditions of the transfer of the funds, they remain identifiable. At the Finance Committ8e meeting on the 15th May
2018 it was derided that thls cash should be invested with a mandate to produce a target income yield of 3% per
annum with this income yield being utilised by the trustees to provide a specific bursary to students. upon
application being received. The target income yield has been met in all years since inception of ￿ designated
account. The income is available to make grants following the Trustees decision on its allocation.

WILLIAM PRICE CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The overall value of the endowment fund. General Fund, Expendable Endowment and Pemianent Endowment.
Increased in value by £58.194 {£7,742,944 8t 31st Marth 2024) across the year. In tenns of the comparative
perfomance the Investment Adviser benchmarks the Trust portfolio against a blend belween the Invesknent
Association 0% - 35°k Shares sector {25%) and the Investrnent Association 20% - 60% Shares sector (75Vol as it is
felt this reflects a good fit with the assets adopted risk profile and volatility of the Trust portfolio. The ARC Balan￿d
Asset Charity Index is also used to rneasure relative investrnent perfonnance as this r8pr8sents actual portfolio
performance from circa 35 charity investment managers encompassing over 5,000 discretionary charity portrollos.
Portfolio perfomanco, including cash, was positive by +3.97% over th8 y8ar to 31st March 2024 but behind both th8
benchmarks with the IA Mixed Investment blended benehmark produang growth of +7.45% and the ARC Balanced
Ass8t Charty Index +7.91%.
Th8 overall annualised volatility (risk) of lh8 Portfotlo was recorded at 6.03 (O r8pr8senting no volatlllty) which was
slightly l¢)wer than the blended IA Mixed Investment b8nchmark which was recA>rded at 6.11 but sllght higher than
the ARC Index at 5.91. The risklreward relationship withln th8 Portfolio remains in line with our eyp8ctstions. It
should. however, b8 noted that volatility measured over short perlods can be problematic as it is more influenced by
short-term market movements. Over the longer term the relationship is also as we would expect. Ov8rfiv8 years th8
annualised volatilty is 7.49 relativ8 to 7.87 in relation to the blended IA Mixed Investment benchmark and 8.15 in
relation to the ARC benchmark with the Trust portfolio produc¥ng growth of +16.19% ￿lative to +15.74% for the IA
Mixed Investment benchmark and +20.95% for the ARC Belanced Charity irKlex.
The total income yleld from investments and cash Into the prfolio was £240,095 for the year for the capital fund.
repr8S8nting a yleld of 3.170/0. and £9.062 for th8 Wykeham House Designated Fund. representing a yiekj of 5.57%.
The Trust maintains the Total Retum Approach to inveslng whereby grants are met vla a combinauon of the natural
Income yield of the portfolio and accumulated capital growth wlthln the Unapplied Total R8tum.
Total Relurn Approach to Invoslments.
A total relum approach to investments was adopted from 1st Aprfl 2002 wlth a dedared p8mianent 8ndowm8nt of
£3.113,126, Increasing to £4.638.126 wlth tha transfer of the Fareham Educatlonal Trust funds. Due to the
recoupment policy. the pemianent endowment was increased to £4,725,126 In 2016 and will Increas8 annually by
£29,000 as above. The value of the Pennanent Endowmènt as of the 31st March 2024 was £5,113,916. Any sum In
the capltal fund over that tolal 18 being treated as unapplled total return on Investments and the trustees are
pemilttèd to decide how much ol this is transferred to the income fund for use in mèèting the objects of the charfty.
The trustees remain aware thal the amount transferred must be compatible wlth the requirement to be even handed
in their treatment of present and future beneficiaries and to meet the Recoupment Policy as noted above, The
amount transferr8d lo the Income or General Fund in the year to meet grants was £192.000.
R•8ervos Pollcy.
The trustees are also aware that rf the vaue of the capital fijnd stM)ukl fall below the dectared value of the
pemanent endowment no transfers to the income fund wll be permltted until Ihe situation improves. The situation
with Ihe stock market has shown that such a fall in value could o(xur. hopefully only on a temporary basis, and that
in this event a reserve in the Income Fund would be required to enable the charity to ￿ntinue to operate, albeil at
r8duced level. The trustees have established a Reserves Policy to pemiit transfer of suffic18nt Unallocated Retum to
th8 Income Fund to build up to one yearfs income In reserve at the end of the financial year. The ￿lIcY has been
reviewed during the year and will be maintsined for as long as is considered n8cessary.
Wlnding-up of The Wykèham House School Trust
Following the closure of Wykeham House School and the dlsposal of its assets, its Trustees declded that the
surplus funds {£156.789.60) should be given to thls tharity to assist In furthering its aims. The funds have been
Invested in a separate a￿ount as requested by the liquidators. An interim recommendation to invest 980A of the
Wykeham House cash was rnade and fund purchases completed in June 2018. The objectrve was to provide a 30
annual income yield to fund a bursary and grow th8 capital over the longer temi. The portfolio has met the brief and
cash is available to distribute. As of the 31sl March 2024 the available e4sh was £19.816.00.

Designated Fund.
In the short time that the Fareham Educational Trust was in existence there were four establishmerts named as
beneficiaries of that charity. Fareham College and three schools. although none were due to receive any benefit
until the Wickham Road school site had been sold and the proceeds invested. These f￿r establishments are also
beneficiaries of this charity and as such have r￿1Ved many grants to date. However now that the cf£rities have
amalgamated. to ensure that the estsblishments would not be at a disadvantage compared with trwo separate
charities, the trustees have agreed to designate part of the income fvnd speufically for them. Further funding has
been designated and payments from this fund have been made.
Coftcluslon.
Overall the Wlliam Price Charitable Tntsl is in as good a shape as the (Y￿rent market ￿nditionS allow. The capital
from the sales of the two school Sbtes is invested in a dIVer￿ty of avsets and in the longer temi this is expected to
provide the growth necessary for the charity to survive into the foreseeable future, as well as seela'ng to maintain
grants to current benefiuaries. This income is being used to assist the education of the young who live in the
Fareham town parishes. c108e to the original wishes of the benefactor, W#iam Pri￿.

of the finanaal statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such intemal o)ntrol as
the trustees determine is ne￿Sary to enable the preparation of finanGial st*ments that are free from material
misstatem8nt. whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial ststements. the trustees are responsible for
assessing the chanty's ability to o)ntinue as a w'ng con￿rn, disdosing, as applicable. matters related to going
concem and using the goirvJ rth¢em basis of accounting unless the truslees either intend to CA8ase c4)erations. or
have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Audltorfs ro8ponsibilltl8s for the audit of the fin•neial statèments
We have been appointed as auditor under sedion 144 of the Chariiies Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Aca and relevant regulations made or having effed thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain rèasonabl8 assurance about whether the finanual statements as a Who￿ are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or eThor, and to issue an auditofs reF)Ort that indudès our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran￿ tMJt is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
vith ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when tt exists. Misststements Can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material rf. individualty or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decAsions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Identlflcation and as•M$m•nt of Irrngularitios Includlng fraud
Irregularities, induding fraud. are instances of non<ompliance with laws arKI regulations. We designed procedures
in line Y￿th our responsibiliti'es, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of iffegularities, induding
fraud. The extent to which our procedures were capable of deteding iffegularities. induding fraud is detsiled bekjw:
• we focused on specific laws and regulations whith we ￿nSIdered may have a direct material effect on the
finanaal statements or the operab'ons of the chanty, induding The Charities Act 2011.,
we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework appl￿ble to the entity and how the
entty is Complying with that framework by makin9 appropriate enquiries of management as well as
considering the internal Controls in Pla￿ to mibgate risks of fraud and non-complian￿ with laws and
re9ubats'on$',
. we made enquiries of those tharged *ith governance and management concerning..
the risk$ of fraud:
instances of norpcompliance wilh laws and regulations or kno*ledge of actual, suspected. or
alleged fraud is documented during the period;
. we all¢xated an engagement team that we considered colle(*'vety had the appropriate ￿Mpetence and
capabilites to identify or re(y)gnise nOnVc￿plIan￿ with laws regulations.

Con¢lu*lons r•gardlng tho rf8ks of lffegularltle• Includlng fraud
There are inherent limitations in our autht procedures desryibed above. The more ￿MOVed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions. the less likely rt is that we WO￿ become aware of non￿CoMPlianc0.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to dete(* than those that arise from Orror as they may
involve deliberate ￿ncealment or collusion.
Vve considered our audit was capable of detecting irregularities due to:
the effectbveness of the entity's inlemal controls;
the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures perfOrn￿d; and
the absence of contradictory evidenrA.
