Trustees‘ report For the year ended 30 September 2021 The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021.
Objectives and Activities
a. Policies and objectives
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance.
The Trustees hold the Trust funds (subject to any express conditions imposed by the donor) for general charitable purposes. In furtherance of this objective, the Trustees have adopted a policy of giving donations to various other charities and organisations. The Trustees have decided to prioritise local charities when making decisions on the granting of donations and that any surplus of available income would be donated to Muscular Dystrophy UK. The charity raises funds from the renting of its investment properties and the income derived from its other investments. There have been no changes to the charity's aims or policies in the financial year.
b. Activities for achieving objectives
Investment properties are held to raise funds from rent received. Investment properties have been included in the accounts at open market value.
c. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit
The objects of the Foundation are wide, but the Trustees focus their grant making in two main areas. The first of these is the support of research into Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy, and the majority of funds are directed to the national charity supporting sufferers of that condition and research into the causes and the development of treatments for Myotonic Dystrophy, Muscular Dystrophy UK.
In addition to that primary focus, the Foundation supports many local charities in Hampshire and the Trustees are always conscious of the need to assess the impact of such varied donations.
Achievements and performance
a. Financial review of activities
The charity raised £72,050 (2020: £71,850) from the renting of its freehold property and £4,379 (2020: £4,369) from dividends and interest received from its investments. The cost of repairs, maintenance and management of the charity's rented property was £26,159 (2020: £16,083). Management of the charity's other investment cost £1,206 (2020: £1,153).
Other costs, including management and administration costs, were £9,527 (2020: £8,066).
The charity made 5 donations to various charities and organisations this year which amounted to £39,427 (2020: £53,180). These include a donation of £35,000 (2020: £50,000) to Muscular Dystrophy UK.
During the year there were £29,255 additions (2020: £18,876) and £19,345 disposals (2020: £17,534) within the listed investments of the charity. The market value of listed investments increased by £21,229 (2020: decreased by £13,175). The profit on the revenue account for the year amounted to £1,316 (2020: deficit £1,110). Gains on the disposal of quoted investments were £3,198 (2020: gain of £294).
The Investment properties have also been revalued in the year by £195,000 (2020: £Nil) and now have a value per the accounts of £2,145,000 (2020: £1,950,000)

The Cranbury Foundation
Trustees’ report (continued) For the year ended 30 September 2021
The net assets of the charity, as shown in the balance sheet, increased by £217,545 (2020: decreased by £14,285).
b. Investment policy and performance
The Trustees are empowered to invest the trust monies in the same unrestricted manner as if they were the beneficial owners of such monies.
The charity's investments are managed by independent investment managers. Income from the investments is used to further the objects of the charity. Investments are stated at mid-market value at the year end. Gains or losses arising on revaluation are transferred to the revaluation reserve.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
The Trustees continue to consider the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic on the charity.
b. Reserves
General fund
The balance on the general fund, which represents the original capital and further capital donations, has remained the same this year (2020: remained the same). The balance on the general fund is £469,463 (2020: £469,463).
.
Revaluation reserve
The revaluation reserve, which represents the revaluation of investments and the investment properties, has increased by £216,229 (2020: decreased by £13,175). The balance on the revaluation reserve is £1,892,634 (2020: £1,676,405).
Revenue reserve
The policy of the trustees is that, having considered known major property repairs that will occur in the foreseeable future, the charity will only keep a small additional reserve to meet any immediate need or expenditure. The charity will donate most of the income less its expenditure in the financial year that it arises taking only a small surplus or deficit to the revenue reserve.
The revenue reserve has increased by £1,316 (2020: decreased by £1,110). The balance on the revenue reserve is £(40,654) (2020: £(41,970)).

Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of lreland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.
The Cranbury Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 Going concern After making the appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
- 1.3. Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
- 1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Costs of raising funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities.
Page 8
The Cranbury Foundation
Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 September 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
1.6 Revaluation of Investment property
The charity has adopted the revaluation model to revalue items of Investment property whose fair value can be measured reliably. The revaluations shall be made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period.
The fair value of land and buildings is usually determined from market-based evidence by appraisal that is normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. The fair value of items of plant and machinery is usually their market value determined by appraisal.
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
1.7 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.
1.8 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
1.9 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.10 Cash at Bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes 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.
1.11 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.12 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.13 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
