Keswick Hall Charity
Report of the Trustees of Keswick Hall Charity For the year ended 31 March 2021
Objectives and activities
-
(1) The object of the charity is to advance for the public benefit education in any part of the world where the Church of England may be at work in such ways as the Managing Trustees may, from time to time, determine, including by:
-
(a) The promotion, encouragement and support, including research in and development of religious education in Educational Institutions, including the training of ministers of religion, by the provision or assistance in the provision of instruction, classes, lectures books, libraries and reading rooms and any associated equipment or resources;
-
(b) Promoting the efficiency and effectiveness of Educational Institutions and the efficient and effective application of resources for such purposes;
-
(c) Advancing the education and training of people who work, volunteer or govern in Educational Institutions, in particular those persons who are, or who intend to become, engaged as teachers or otherwise in work connected with religious education, in order to assist those persons to deliver a high quality education to pupils, students and the communities served by those institutions;
-
(d) The provision and conduct of a chapel and chaplaincy providing for religious worship, care and instruction; and
-
(e) The granting of financial assistance to Educational Institutions established for charitable purposes only.
-
(2) The object shall be conducted in accordance with the principles and doctrines of the Church of England; and
-
(3) “Educational Institution” means any academy, school, college or place of higher or further education or any other institution having as its purpose education, or promotion of the education of children or adults or children and adults.
The present activity is to apply the Charity’s income to: grants for in-service and initial training of teachers of religious education; providing resources for use by teachers of religious education; and research and development in religious education. Grants are made to individuals and corporate bodies.
Public benefit
The Managing Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had due regard to it in their administration of the Charity.
The Charity provides funding to individuals and corporate bodies for the advancement of higher and further education including the promotion of research and development of religious education. The geographical area of benefit is generally within the east of England, however, with the diminishing resource centre availability throughout the UK, this geographical area is continuing to expand nationally and also internationally.

Report of the Trustees of Keswick Hall Charity For the year ended 31 March 2021
Objectives and activities (continued)
The advancement of education supported by the Charity is generally in accordance with the doctrines of the Church of England. However, in our ever changing multi-faith world the need for teachers to be equipped to educate young people in all faiths has led to an expansion of the work supported by the Charity.
Grants are available to those who seek to advance their knowledge and understanding in the teaching environment. It is to enable teaching in schools to be enhanced through greater knowledge of the teacher rather than in the provision of physical resources. Help is available to teachers from whatever religious background, and to schools, not just Church of England schools, and regardless of their financial means.
Achievements and performance
This financial year has been an exceedingly difficult time for all due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. This has resulted in no face-to-face trustee meetings and a limited number of opportunities for the trust to support grant applicants and the annual Keswick Hall Lecture series at the university of East Anglia.
Trustees have met twice during the year using a ‘Paper Trail’ methodology. This has enabled the trust to continue to operate whilst ensuring that all the relevant governance procedures are maintained.
The operation of the trust carries on with the accounts and investments being monitored on a regular basis by the Executive Officer and Honorary Treasurer.
Due to the continued income from the trust investments with JM Finn, Trustees have been able to maintain their annual grant payments of £180,000 previously committed to the three dioceses of Ely, Norwich and St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.
£34,660 was offered in grants of which £16,500 was to organisations and £18,160 to individuals who were undertaking RE studies.
The Coronavirus Pandemic has impacted on the Keswick Hall Trust that will prevent the trustees meeting on a physical basis until the lockdown is over and the government changes its advice on physical meetings.
No staff are employed by the trust, so it is not necessary to take advantage of the various support options being offered by the government. Similarly, there are no regular payments for pensions or PAYE/NI.
Financial review
Net income for the year ended 31 March 2021 prior to gains/losses on investment assets amounted to £14,048 (2020: net expenditure £4,279).
The net gain on investment assets for the year amounted to £781,265 (2020: loss £328,147), giving a net increase in funds for the year of £795,313 (2020: net decrease in funds £332,426).
Principal funding sources
Most the Charity’s income comes from investments.

Grants policy
Grants are given to the dioceses of Ely, Norwich and St Edmundsbury and Ipswich for the development of religious education.
Grants are also made to individuals and corporate bodies for in-service and initial training of teachers of religious education; providing resources for use by teachers of religious education; and research and development in religious education
Investment policy
The Managing Trustees have invested the capital funds with JM Finn & Co Fund Managers. The accumulated income is also invested by JM Finn & Co Fund Managers.
Reserves policy
On 31 March 2021, unrestricted free reserves totalled £2,642,426 (2020: £1,840,798) represented by investments valued at £3,467,203 (2020: £1,840,798) less net current and longer-term liabilities of £824,777 (2020: £907,237) as contained in note 11. The liabilities include in full the commitment to the three Dioceses for the support of religious education until 2026. The Restricted Investment Fund balance is £1,500,000 (2020: £1,506,810).
Trust (Capital and Income) Act 2013
During the period ending 31 March 2019 the Managing Trustees used the above Act to release capital from the Restricted Investment Fund. In identifying the value of the portion of the permanent endowment fund that represented unapplied total return, the Trustees first identified the value of the initial founding gift, and a figure of £1,500,000 was agreed by Trustees as being the level of the Restricted Investment Fund as at 31 December 2018. From this date anything above this amount is transferred to the Unrestricted Investment Fund. This has allowed the Trustees to set a 10-year budget that will allow the Charity to continue to provide support to religious education during that period.
When reaching the decision as to the unapplied total return to transfer to income, the Trustees have taken the relevant professional advice.
Plans for future periods
With the proposed lifting of the Coronavirus Restrictions on 19 July the Managing Trustees are proposing to start holding their Managing Trustee Meetings face to face three times a year.
Applications from organisations and individuals for grants have started to be received in the numbers that compare with pre-Covid. This will form the major work of the Managing Trustees to consider the applications and make appropriate decisions on if and how much should be granted to the applicants. The trust will continue to support the educations departments of Ely, Norwich and St Edmundsbury & Ipswich dioceses for the next 5 years by providing a grant of £60,000 per diocese per year.

Report of the Trustees of Keswick Hall Charity For the year ended 31 March 2021
Plans for future periods (continued)
The trust is a member of the Association of Church College Trusts and although meetings are currently on Zoom there are plans to revert to face to face meetings in the near future. This enables information to be shared between the trusts about the future of RE in our schools and colleges.
There are no staff currently employed by the trust and there are no plans for any staff to be employed in the future so there will be no need for a pension scheme or payment of PAYE/NI.
The properties at Keswick Park – currently rented out to Keswick Riding Stables – and 59 Low Road – currently rented out to a former caretaker of Keswick Hall Teacher Training College – will continue to be owned by the trust and rented out for the foreseeable future.
Structure, governance, and management
Governing document
The Keswick Hall Charity (Registered Number 311246) was set up by a Scheme made by the Secretary of State for Education and Science on 9 September 1968, as varied by subsequent Schemes dated 19 October 1971, 18 November 1971, and a Charity Commission Scheme dated 25 February 1981, and subsequently amended on 16 June 2014.
Custodian Trustee
The Official Custodian for Charities is the Custodian Trustee for the Charity. All the capital assets including investment assets are retained in the name of the Custodian Trustee. The Custodian Trustee plays no part in the daily management of the Charity and is not a signatory to the revenue bank accounts and accumulated income investments.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Nominative managing trustees are appointed as follows:
-
One each by the respective Bishops of Ely, Norwich and St Edmundsbury and Ipswich
-
One each by the respective Diocesan Boards of Education of Ely, Norwich and St Edmundsbury and Ipswich
The appointment of five co-optative trustees is by a resolution of the Trustees. New Trustees are identified by the existing Trustees and invited to join the trustee body. They are chosen as being people of good character and standing within the local community usually with previous experience of being a charity trustee.
Trustee induction and training
As new Trustees often have previous experience formal training is not usually required but where necessary appropriate briefing is arranged. Background information is provided in the form of previous year’s annual report and financial statements, minutes of the meetings of the trustees in the previous year and a copy of the grant application pack.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
Risk management
The major risks, to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been considered, a risk management policy (which includes procedures to minimise financial risk, reputational risk, operational risk and legal and statutory risk) adopted and systems established to mitigate them. The Managing Trustees reviewed risks in all categories annually and made appropriate policy amendments in order further to reduce future potential risk exposure, particularly in the areas of the review of Trustee experience, conflicts of interest, monitoring arrangements for significant projects, cash flow and income, and authorised signatories.
Organisational structure
Trustees normally meet three times each financial year and at each of their meetings consider grant applications and also receive any feedback from recipients of grants previously given. They also review their investment policy and received reports from the Fund Managers. Trustees are responsible for the administration of the Charity and therefore reviewed their various strategic policies regularly in the light of changing circumstances and legislative changes.
The Board of Managing Trustees no longer have committees with all issues considered and decisions taken at meetings of the Managing Trustees.
The Trustees have engaged Mr MJ Green T/A MJG Business as the Executive Officer of the Trust.
Related parties
While considering grant applications one of the Dioceses may be considered for a grant. Mr PN Dunning is a Nominative Trustee appointed by the Norwich Diocesan Board of Education, The Revd Dr H Cleugh is a nominative Trustee appointed by the Bishop of Ely, Mr A Read is a Nominative Trustee appointed by the Ely Diocesan Board of Education, Mrs J Sheat is a Nominative Trustee appointed by the St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Board of Education, Mrs JM Eccleston is a Nominative Trustee appointed by the Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich and Mrs S Paice is a Nominative Trustee appointed by The Bishop of Norwich.
Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and 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;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

Report of the Trustees of Keswick Hall Charity For the year ended 31 March 2021
Structure, governance and management (continued)
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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.
True and fair override
The financial statement 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Auditor
Lovewell Blake LLP have indicated they are willing to continue in office and a resolution to reappoint them will be proposed at the next Annual General Meeting.

Independent Auditor’s Report to The Trustees of Keswick Hall Charity
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Keswick Hall Charity (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet 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 Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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 31 March 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Report of the Trustees. 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.
9 | P a g e
Independent Auditor’s Report (continued) to The Trustees of Keswick Hall Charity
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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Report of the Trutees; or
-
the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; 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.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement (set out on page 7), the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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.
Auditor’s 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 regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
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 an auditor’s report 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:
10 | P a g e
Independent Auditor’s Report (continued) to The Trustees of Keswick Hall Charity
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:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance;
-
Enquiry of entity staff compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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 auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a "true and fair" view and have departed from the Charites (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 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The provision of a multi-year grant is recognised at its present value where settlement is due over more that one year from the date of the award, there are no unfulfilled performance conditions under the control of the charity that would permit the Charity to avoid making the future payments, settlement is probable and the effect of discounting is material. The discount rate used is the average rate of investment yield in the year in which the grant award is made. The discount rate is regarded by the Trustee as providing the most current available estimate of the opportunity cost of money reflecting the time value of money to the Charity
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirement of the Charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, other are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions costing below £100 are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
Computer equipment - 25% per annum on a straight line basis.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received to the extent that such income or gains are applied to exclusively charitable purposes.
Investments
Investments held for the long-term to generate income and preserve capital in real terms are carried at market value as fixed assets. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year. The freehold investment properties are included at a valuation by the Trustees as at 31 March 2020. It is the Managing Trustees' intention to revalue the investment properties periodically.
Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate are receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transactions price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
Cash at bank
Cash at bank and in hand included 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.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the Charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
Judgement and key sources or estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgments are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
