Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation

Report of the Governors for 2024

1. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Purposes of the Foundation

The Foundation was formed by the merger in 1988 of two much older charities. The Elizabeth Newcomen Educational Foundation was formed in 1685 and John Collett Educational Foundation in 1711. Both charities had been set up for the benefit of young people in and around Southwark.

The charitable purposes of the Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation are:

On 31[st] January 2022 all the Governors of Newcomen Collett Foundation became Trustees of St Mary Newington Educational Foundation. St. Mary Newington Educational Foundation is constituted by a Charity Commission Scheme. The object of the Charity is to provide financial assistance to children in need in the former parish of St. Mary Newington.

During the year the name of the charity was changed from Newcomen Collett Foundation to Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation, to make its area of activity clearer.

Public Benefit

The objects and purposes of the Foundation are set out in the first paragraphs of this Report. The Governors confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant-making policy for the year.

Activities

The principal area of activity is awarding grants using funds generated from investment assets. This is explained in more detail below.

For many years, the Foundation has shared the offices and costs with Marshall’s Charity, another grant-making charity. We will deal with this relationship further under the section on governance below.

A) Investment Management

As an Endowed Foundation one of the primary tasks of the Governors is to manage the investment assets. The Governors have adopted a policy of prudent diversification in relation to the investments and as such hold the investments in both property and equity assets.

The Investment Committee advises the Governors on investment policy for the Foundation. The aim is to balance the needs of current and future beneficiaries. The specific financial objectives of the Foundation are:

The Governors have invested all securities in accumulation units in order to grow the endowment fund for future beneficiaries. Grants to current beneficiaries are made from unrestricted funds.

Securities held by St Mary Newington Educational Foundation are invested in income units.

3

Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation

Report of the Governors for 2024

Property

Approximately 60% of the endowment is currently invested directly in property. The portfolio is diversified by size, location and class.

The Investment Committee continues to explore the development potential of all the properties in the portfolio. The Governors are also identifying which properties should continue to be held in the portfolio and are devising a strategy for selling properties identified for disposal.

The Foundation’s property portfolio is actively managed by the Surveyor to Marshall’s Charity.

Securities

Approximately 40% of the current endowment is invested in securities.

The investment policy recommends diversification of risk. The Foundation and St Mary Newington Educational Foundation both hold their funds in the CCLA COIF Charities Investment Fund, a Common Investment Fund which gives the necessary diversification.

The Fund Manager issues quarterly reports showing the performance of the Funds. The Governors continue to monitor performance and also to keep under review the level of securities held in relation to property investments.

B) Grant-Making

The objects of the Foundation, which are set out in section 1, provide for four types of grant.

In practice most of the grant-making activities fall within the fourth object. In relation to the first three objects:

The grants made under the fourth object fall into three categories: school uniform grants, grants to individuals and grants to organisations.

School Uniform Grants

Each year a proportion of the available funds is made available for emergency grants to purchase school uniforms. Schools contact the Foundation to outline the pupil’s situation and request a grant. Grants are awarded under Clerk’s discretion and applications are usually turned around within 48 hours. The school is responsible for purchasing the items of school uniform and the Foundation reimburses the school.

Grants to Individuals

Individuals who are under the age of 25 and have been resident in Southwark for at least two years are eligible to apply for a grant towards the cost of their education. The majority of grants are awarded towards the costs of those attending tertiary or higher education. Priority is given to natives of Southwark, and to those embarking on their first post-school qualification. Grants to individuals under the age of 16 are usually only awarded in cases of exceptional talent or need. Individuals are eligible to apply once in any twelve-month period. The Governors do not make multi-year awards but will usually consider repeat applications from students for as long as they continue their studies.

Grants to Organisations

Organisations who work with young people in Southwark are eligible to apply for grants. Support is given towards a breadth of activities including residential trips, music productions and equipment, sports resources, arts projects, after school clubs and holiday clubs. Priority is given to organisations which are based in Southwark.

St Mary Newington Educational Foundation allocates between 40% and 50% of net income for the purpose of enabling the Governors or Managers of Church Schools within the boundary of the Ancient Parish of St Mary Newington to comply with their obligations with respect to the maintenance of such schools under the Educations Act, 1944 to 1953. The Trustees apply the balance of net income to be available for grants to organisations situated within the boundary of the Ancient Parish of St Mary Newington.

2. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Achievements

The year ended 31[st] August 2024 was a busy and successful year for the Foundation. There were no Income returns from securities as all securities are in accumulation funds. However rental income from properties and the rundown of accumulated reserves enabled the Foundation to award grants of over £113k to 176 individuals and organisations (2023: £94k to 176 individuals and organisations).

The various achievements are explored in more detail below.

A) Investment Management

Property

The capital values of the properties increased by 3.5% over the year (2023: decrease of 4.0%). During the year the Surveyor negotiated a new lease with one tenant and an upward rent review with another, both of which agreements have had a favourable impact on the charity’s income. Rental income for the year showed a return of 6.9% (2023: 6%). There were no bad or doubtful debts.

Securities

The value of securities increased by 4.85% (2023: decrease of 1.00%) over the year. This return was after the sale of CCLA units in October 2023 to release proceeds of £100,000. The funds were put into the CCLA COIF Charities Deposit Fund, which allows access at short notice.

The investment managers provide regular reports on the performance of the fund, and the Governors review the performance of their investments on a regular basis. The Foundation compares performance to the individual fund's own benchmarks.

St Mary Newington Educational Foundation sold all its holdings in M&G Charifund and CCLA Property and Global Equity funds. All proceeds were invested in the CCLA COIF Charities Investment Fund, apart from £73,686 which was put in the CCLA COIF Charities Deposit Fund.

B) Grant-making

The Foundation has continued to see greater demand for its grants than it has funds available. Consequently, the Governors, with the assistance of the Field Officer, follow the grant-making priorities of the Foundation. It is hoped that this will enable the Foundation’s limited funds to be directed to those organisations and individuals who will benefit most from a grant.

The number of grants awarded during the year are set out below:

School Uniform Grants

82 (2023 – 90) grants were awarded for the purchase of school uniforms during the year.

Grants to Individuals

18 (2023 – 23) grants were awarded to individuals over the year and these were generally towards the living costs of those pursuing post-16 educational opportunities.

Grants to Organisations

76 (2023 – 63) grants were awarded to organisations for a range of projects covering the arts, drama, sports, school trips and holiday clubs.

Grants made by St Mary Newington Educational Foundation

1 (2023 – 1) grant was made to a school for maintenance purposes, 7 (2023 - 4) grants were made to organisations and 1 (2023 – 1) grant was made to an individual to promote education.

3. FINANCIAL REVIEW

Review of Finances

The Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation incurred a deficit of £18,020 (2023: £34,914) on its activities during the year,

5

Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation

Report of the Governors for 2024

excluding gains on investments. The Governors had agreed a deficit budget for the period of £86,591 to reduce unrestricted reserves. St Mary Newington Educational Foundation incurred a deficit of £3,897 (2023: surplus of £2,602) on its activities during the year, excluding gains on investments. Thus, the consolidated results for the period showed a deficit of £21,917 (2023: £32,312) excluding gains and losses on investments.

The freehold investment properties are revalued annually by the Surveyor to Marshall’s Charity. This year, in his view, there has been an increase in the value of the portfolio.

Reserves Policy

The Governors have adopted a policy regarding free reserves which seeks to ensure that

Free reserves exclude restricted funds and designated funds. They also exclude any unrestricted funds held in fixed assets. At 31[st] August 2024 the target level of free reserves was £88,000. However, the actual level was £284,661. The governors have agreed to reduce the free reserves over a number of years by increasing the amount of grants awarded and hence setting budgets with a deficit. The budgeted deficit for the year ending 31[st] August 2025 is £30,697.

Going Concern

Having reviewed the financial performance for the year, the budget for the year ended 31[st] August 2025 and plans for future years, the Governors confirm that the financial statements for the year to 31[st] August 2024 can be prepared on the going concern basis.

Investment Policy

The Governors updated the Investment Policy in March 2024. Currently the Governors do not wish to impose any specific ethical investment policy; however potential investments are assessed to ensure congruence with the aims and ethos of the Foundation.

Plans for the Future

The Foundation has a long-term strategy to build up its asset base in order to provide more income for the important grant needs of the community it serves. It is currently working to merge with St Mary Newington Educational Foundation. It has identified two further charities with which a merger is possible.

Risk

The Risk Register is considered in detail at each Governors meeting and appropriate actions are being taken to mitigate any risks identified.

As at 31[st] August 2024 there were no major risks facing the Foundation.

4. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

Governing Documents & Governors

The Foundation was set up under a Scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 16 September 1988.

The Foundation is controlled by a body of Governors, who are the trustees of the Foundation, all of whom are members of the General Meeting of Governors. Governors are elected to serve for a four-year period and may be re-elected for subsequent four-year periods. There is a maximum of fourteen Governors, none of whom receives any remuneration or benefit from the Foundation.

One Governor may be appointed as a Representative Governor by the Governors of the Cathedral School and Janet Simpson is currently that Governor. One other Governor may be appointed as a Representative Governor by the Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charitable Trust and Tim McNally is currently that Governor.

The Governors are pleased that Canon Michael Rawson is currently a Governor. He is Sub Dean and Canon Pastor at Southwark Cathedral. The Foundation has had a long relationship with Southwark Cathedral and the Governors are delighted that the relationship continues, and that Michael is able to represent the concerns of the local community.

One governor has been temporarily suspended pending an investigation.

St Mary Newington Educational Foundation is a registered charity (number 312317) which is governed by two schemes, the 1916 Scheme made by the Board of Education and the 1955 Scheme made by the Minister of Education, as amended by a Scheme of the Charity Commission dated 10th December 1965 and a resolution dated 26 September 2010.

Report of the Governors for 2024

Governor Selection & Training

The Governor Selection Committee meets as necessary to consider new appointments of Governors. There are currently three vacancies for Governors on the Board.

The Foundation is fortunate to have many highly qualified and experienced Governors who are also active in other charities. In keeping with the need to maintain the highest levels of governance. The Foundation encourages all Governors to participate in training that is relevant and which will assist them in their roles. Through our membership of the Charity Finance Group and the Association of Charitable Foundations and also from professional advisers, various courses are available in many of the specialist areas that affect the Foundation.

The management of the Foundation and its assets is largely undertaken by two experienced professional staff in the persons of the Clerk and the Surveyor of Marshall’s Charity, and the Foundation ensures that both of them undertake appropriate continuing professional education relevant to its needs. Both of them ensure that the relevant knowledge gained in this training is forwarded to the Governors.

Governance

As with the corporate world, the charity sector has recognised that good governance and transparency are key responsibilities in their relationship with the community they serve. The Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation seeks to ensure that it meets the highest standards in these areas consistent with the size of its operations and funds. To this end, the Foundation seeks to ensure compliance with the Charity Governance Code.

There are currently three committees: an Investment Committee, an Audit Committee and a Governor Selection Committee. All committees have formal terms of reference and no committee has delegated powers to act without the authority of the General Meeting of Governors. The Governors rely greatly on the careful and thoughtful work undertaken by these committees which allows the General Meeting to deal more effectively with the many issues which are its concern.

The Foundation has a working agreement with Marshall’s Charity, together with a license to occupy the premises at Newcomen Street, which sets out the terms for sharing staff between the two charities.

In order to allow potential beneficiaries to find out more easily about the work of the Foundation and their ability to qualify for grants, the Foundation has its own website, www.newcomencollett.org.uk. As well as providing information about the Foundation, a link on this website allows applications to be processed online.

Audit Committee

This committee oversees the production of annual statutory accounts. The independent examiner is offered the opportunity to report to the Governors in confidence on any issues that might have arisen during the independent examination.

Management

The day-to-day management of the affairs of the Foundation is delegated to the Clerk and the Field Officer. The Governors believe that the operation of a Foundation with assets and income of this scale requires management by professionally trained staff with its necessary costs. They are immensely grateful to both the Clerk and the Field Officer for their dedication to the work of the Foundation, as well as the support given by Jim Keegan as Surveyor to Marshall’s Charity, who reports regularly to the Governors on matters related to the property portfolio of the Foundation.

Remuneration Committee

The pay arrangements for Foundation staff employed by Marshall’s Charity are dealt with by the Remuneration Committee of Marshall’s Charity. In view of the close working relationship between the charities, the Committee invites the Newcomen Collett Foundation to nominate representatives to join them for its meetings. At its annual meeting the Committee receives a report from the Clerk on staff issues and performance, and then considers sector and national pay rates and conditions, and levels of inflation, before preparing its recommendations. The Chair advises the Governors on salary reviews for its own members of staff.

Remuneration Policy

The Governors are grateful for the commitment and enthusiasm of the Foundation’s staff. The Governors take the view that it is essential to attract and retain staff with the appropriate skills and capabilities and reward them fairly for delivering the Foundation’s important work. In order to do this the Foundation reviews its salaries on a regular basis and this is done in conjunction with Marshall’s Charity Remuneration Committee.

Report of the Governors for 2024

Statement of Governors’ Responsibilities

The Governors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Governors and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing these financial statements the Governors are required to:

The Governors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Foundation’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Foundation and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Report) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of its Constitutional Scheme.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Governors for 2024

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on pages 9 to 20.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The trustees are satisfied that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the requirements of the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

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

  3. 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 accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2024

1. Accounting Policies

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods. Judgements made by the trustees, in the application of these accounting policies that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are deemed to be in relation to the valuation of properties and are discussed below.

14

Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2024

In the view of the Governors, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
