Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 30 June 2024
Structure, governance and management
Governing Documents
The Skiers Trust of Great Britain Limited ("the Trust") is a charitable company limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. The company was incorporated under the Companies Act 1948 on 4 October 1966 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended 18 November 1994 and 10 November 2009. A complete revision of the Articles of Association was conducted by Macfarlanes and adopted by special resolution on 27 November 2012. The Trust was registered with the Charity Commission on 8 May 1967.
Organisational Structure
The Trust is managed by the Council of Management ("the Board") whose members act as Trustees for the purposes of charity law. The Board normally meets three or four times a year. Each Board member takes part in a relevant area of responsibility within a committee structure.
There are currently three committees:
-
Fundraising and Marketing Committee - covering all fundraising, promotional and marketing activities of the Charity.
-
Grant Awards Committee - ensuring that grants are awarded strictly in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines and assessed against Board issued criteria.
-
Finance Committee - financial and investment management.
The chair of each committee provides a report at each Board meeting. Any Board member with an individual responsibility additional to or outside of the committee structure provides details of their relevant activities at each Board Meeting.
Retirement from and election to the Board
Board members are appointed by election at meetings of the Board.
Board members may be appointed for a maximum term of office of five years. They are deemed to retire at the next meeting of the Board to be held after the expiry of their term of office as identified on page 1.
Each retiring Board member shall be eligible for re-appointment for a further term of a maximum of five years. There is no limit on the maximum number of terms that a Board member may serve.
For new members, the Board considers applicants' competences against the skills and experience balance needed by the Board for its long-term performance combined with diversity.
Training for Board Members
New Board members are given an initial briefing by the Board which includes the Trust's Articles of Association and the relevant Charity Commission Guidance publications. They are required to attend a Trustee Training Course provided by a recognised law firm or specialist in charity law. An existing member works alongside the new member during their first 12 months.

Grantmaking policy
The Board ensures that any criteria used to determine the eligibility of grant recipients and to ensure compliance with the Skiers Trust's charitable objectives and the public benefit, are reasonable, justifiable and proportionate.
All grant awards made are considered and administered under the Grant Award Scheme ("GAS") whether they are made from unrestricted or restricted funds operated by the Trust. The Grant Award Committee put forward recommendations for approval to the Board.
-
It is part of the Trust's formal procedure to ensure that the purposes to which all grants are used: charitable at law, and
-
fulfil the public benefit requirements, and
-
any benefit received by individuals are in line with the charitable Articles of Association of the Trust and with the charitable purpose of the grant.
Grant awards for all Focused Funds are by application made on-line via the Trust's website and, exceptionally, by nomination to the Grant Award Committee for consideration. Grant awards for all Futures Funds and Foundation Funds are put forward by the individual Fund's nomination panel for consideration by the Grant Award Committee.
The Trust's website gives clear guidance as to the application process covering the broad policies set out above.
Reserves policy
Policies on reserves and investments have been adopted. It has been the practise of the Board to review the funds available from time to time and to invest funds not immediately required for grant aid in quoted investments.
The Trust's reserves policy is to distribute all income over future periods and to retain one year's grant commitments and sufficient unrestricted funding to cover the support and governance costs of the Trust through taking a long-term view. The Board consider that these costs amount to around £23,500 per annum.
The total reserves at the year end stand at £333,949 (2023 - £297,229). The total fixed asset investments of the charity amounted to £279,883 (2023 - £254,119).
The unrestricted reserves of the charity amount to £221,637 (2023 - £209,564). The free reserves amount to 23,414 (2023 - £28,803) and are nearly sufficient to cover the reserves policy as above.
The Board reviews the level of reserves annually which includes consideration of the amount made available for grant awards. The Board continues to release monies available for grants from the unrestricted General Fund at a level commensurate with the economic climate, fundraising performance and protection to the required level of reserves.
Investment powers
As permitted by the Articles of Association, the Board continues to invest in various funds and may increase or decrease their investment at their discretion.
Investment Policy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in Reserves each year, most of the Trust's funds are to be

spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment.
The Board proposes to retain investment managers, Evelyn Partners for the coming financial year having appointed them in 2019. Their performance in this financial year has continued to be impacted by the various international conflicts and pressures effecting the global economy and its impact on financial markets. The Board is content that Evelyn Partners have steered the Trust's investments through this period diligently evidence of which can be seen in the Report on Investment Performance on page 6.
The Trust's discretionary investment managers have been required to operate within a Policy of at least 75% of invested Reserves being within Sustainability/ESG funds annually since 2020-21.
Review of major risks
The Board conducts periodic reviews of the major risks to which the Trust is exposed. Procedures are in place to mitigate those risks. Risks are assessed periodically to ensure that the Trust's procedures continue to provide adequate mitigation. Careful and timely consideration is made to safeguard the changes in risk.
This financial year has seen the continuation of the financial impact on the Charity sector by the depressed global economy, Covid pandemic tail, energy crisis and trading sanctions driven by war in Eastern Europe. Investment markets have been sensitive over the past year and remain so. This requires a cautious approach with the Trust's finances. Covid driven regulations for groups and their organisers whilst greater than pre-pandemic are now having less impact on snowsport activity than post-pandemic. Eastern Europe and the Middle East continue to be the primary focus for UK national charitable giving such that fundraising for the Trust continues to be extremely difficult.
The Board continued to act cautiously in grant-making in 2023-24.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 30 June 2024
Achievements and performance
The Trust has continued to support snowsports and provide grants to beneficiaries in line with its charitable objectives.
The Trust obtains its funding through donations, appeals, functions, investment interest and Gift Aid tax refunds. These fall into two categories - Unrestricted Funds and a variety of Restricted Funds.
Within Unrestricted Funds, the Trust earmarks some unrestricted funds to a specific purpose. Where it does these are accounted for as Designated Funds. All unrestricted funds (designated or otherwise) are used for allocation of grants at the discretion of the Trust.
Restricted Funds fall into three types - Focused Funds, Futures Funds and Foundation Funds. Focused Funds are those specifically established by the Trust to receive donations supporting a specific purpose. Foundation Funds are those established by a donor making a donation carrying a specific restricted purpose.
In 2023-24 the Trust's major strategic initiative was to conceive and create a new innovative schools-based programme for special educational needs young people called SkiVenture. Schools using this programme may make applications for grants from the Trust's SEND Focused Fund and will be supported where funds permit. The programme was conceived in collaboration with a specialist organisation, SENSki. The first three schools to use the SkiVenture programme will begin in early 2025.
The Trust also created a new Futures Fund in late summer 2023 to support the FIS Telemark Ski discipline - the British Telemark Ski Futures Fund. The following winter ski season 2023-24 saw the first ever British world champion win both the overall and parallel titles within the Telemark discipline.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 30 June 2024
Financial review
The majority of the Charity's incoming funds are derived from donations from private individuals and investment interest and dividends. As explained in Review of Major Risks above (page 4), the global economy and related factors continue to impact the Trust's ability to generate incoming donations and have led directly to a decision to take care over grant-making.
The Trust has kept grant-making at a low level during this financial year with consequentially little financial activity. Grants from restricted funds of £9,990 (2023 - £7,250) have been made. Grants from unrestricted funds in the current year amounted to £6,000 (2023 - £3,000).
As a consequence of the actions taken, the Trust's Reserves stand at a sufficiently good level at 30 June 2024 to provide a sound foundation for the future wellbeing of the Trust and its work.
Designated Funds
The Board includes the Revaluation Reserve which records the aggregate movement on the annual revaluation of the fixed asset investments. This policy will be reviewed on a regular basis as circumstances change.
Restricted Funds
Note 21 also sets out the Restricted Funds and their purposes as well as the revaluation reserve which arises on the restricted investment assets.
Plans for future periods
The Board will consider the expansion of the Grant Award Scheme in all snowsports disciplines.
The Futures Fund suite for individual competitive snowsport disciplines has room for expansion to include more snowsport disciplines in addition to the current three (Biathlon, Nordic and Telemark). It is only really practical to do this with the collaboration of the national snowsports governing body, GB Snowsports. This will be pursued in future periods.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Skiers Trust of Great Britain Limited
Year ended 30 June 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Skiers Trust of Great Britain Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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
Year ended 30 June 2024
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is High Park Farm, Kirkbymoorside, York, YO62 7HS.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Skiers Trust of Great Britain Limited constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity, and rounded to the nearest £1.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Disclosure exemptions
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, within the next financial year, are the levels of future funding and expenditure on charitable activities.
Income tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted and designated funds are those that can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds are funds which have been given for particular purposes or recipient grantees. An analysis of restricted funds is shown in Note 21.
Incoming resources
Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty or receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Donations, are recognised when they have been communicated is received in writing with notification of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
-
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio.
-
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.
-
Income from performance related grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled conditions attaching to that grant are outside of the control of the Trust.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the
expenditure to which it relates:
-
Expenditure on raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations, grants and legacies and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
-
The expenditure on charitable activities includes grants made, governance costs and an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 7.
-
Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs have been differentiated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit, independent examination and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs relating to trustee Board and sub Committee meetings.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on the number of individual grant awards made in recognition that the administrative costs of awarding, monitoring and assessing research grants, salary support grants and postgraduate scholarships are broadly equivalent. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 7.
Investments
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Investments (continued)
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Apart from investments that are publicly traded, the charity only holds basic financial instruments.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Where investments in shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure.
Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors will be classified as financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure.
4. Limited by guarantee
