Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

The charity originated under the Will of Madam Helena Veniselos, nee Schilizzi, by which her trustees were required to hold the residue of her estate on trust for the advancement of education amongst Greek nationals resident in Great Britain and also the children of Greek Nationals resident in Great Britain to receive instruction in the language, history, literature and institutions of Greece.

The trust furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through its grant making policy which falls under the following three headings:

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Objectives, strategies and activities

To fulfil the objectives, during the year under review, the following charitable activities were implemented:

One scholarship continued to be funded during the year under the "Gordon Hedley Scholarship" for a student at The Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, at a cost of £3,500 for the year. The funding is charged against income as noted above.

Trustees' Report

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Grant making policies

The trust has established its grant making policy over a number of years in order to achieve its objects for the public benefit. The principal areas for support are stated within the objectives, strategies and activities section above. The trustees review this policy regularly in order to adapt its application to any changing circumstances.

Achievements and performance

The charity normally receives many approaches each year, all of which are assessed to ensure appropriate criteria are reached. This year due to COVID and the lockdowns in the UK and Europe the number of qualifying applicants was significantly reduced. The trustees have not made any new offers of scholarships commencing in the 2020/21 academic year and have six existing scholarships (one of whom has deferred the initial start date of their scholarship). Additional details of the special awards for hardship and scholarships granted are shown above under the objectives, strategies and activities section.

Financial review

The income generated from all investments amounted to £68,327, in the current year, which is a decrease of £2,997 compared to the previous year and is in line with the trustees expectations. Total resources expended for the year amounted to £42,372, which is a decrease of £72,057 on the previous year. This decrease was due to the reduction in grants paid.

The trustees aim to maintain total expenditure in any year in line with the investment income for that year. They have a separate unrestricted designated reserve fund in which reserves are held, these reserves having built up in an earlier period of the charity's existence and which are invested to produce additional income and out of which special expenditure is made on one off grants as appropriate. The trustees do not anticipate any significant alteration to this policy for the foreseeable future. Details of the designated reserve fund are contained within the notes to the financial statements. The level of funds held in both the endowment and designated reserve are sufficient to provide investment income to cover the anticipated support costs and to continue to support the objectives of the charity.

Trustees' Report

Investment policy and objectives

The trustees have full and unrestricted powers of investment. The investment strategy is set by the trustees in consultation with their investment managers on a medium term basis which is reviewed in detail at least annually. The trustees consider the income requirement, the risk profile and the investment managers view of the marker prospects. The overall policy is to invest in low and medium risk investments to obtain a sustainable level of income while preserving the real value of capital over a rolling 5 year period.

The endowment fund increased in value this year by £524,168. This was mainly due to the revaluation of investments which resulted in unrealised gains of £288,741, together with realised gains on the sale of investments of £243,642. The endowment fund value at the balance sheet date was £2,922,970.

The unrestricted funds increased in value this year by £35,382 to £346,402 at the balance sheet date. This was due to the reduced value of grants awarded in the year.

The overall increases in fund balances during the year was £559,550.

Having considered the charity's exposure to risk in detail, the trustees monitor the position at least annually and make necessary adjustments to lessen any risks that appear relevant. In particular regular reviews of the investment portfolio take place with the charity's investment advisers.

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The charity was established as a scheme under the Charities Act 1960 by order of the Minister of Education on 23 October 1963. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales under number 314128. The governing document of the charity is the Will of Helena Stefanovitch Veniselos (nee Schilizzi) who died on 7 September 1959.

Organisational structure

The governance of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees and it is they who are responsible for the appointment of new trustees when necessary and appropriate. The trustees have appointed a secretary who is responsible for convening and recording meetings of the trustees and for keeping the books and records of the charity.

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 3 November 2021 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Schilizzi Foundation

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 17.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees of The Schilizzi Foundation you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the The Schilizzi Foundation's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of The Schilizzi Foundation as required by section 130 of the Act; or

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

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Schilizzi Foundation is an unincorporated charity registered with The Charity Commission in England and Wales. The principal address of the charity is Chacombe Priory, Chacombe, Banbury, Oxfordshire OX17 2AW.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) and the Charities Act 2011.

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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued in October 2019 rather than Accounting and Reporting by Charities:Statements of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Basis of preparation

The Schilizzi Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The financial statements have been prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a statement of Cash Flows in these financial statements.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income and endowments

The trust constitution does not distinguish between capital and income but the trustees established policy is to maintain the trust capital as an endowment fund. The income arising from the endowment fund investments together with income arising on the reserve fund investments are recorded through the unrestricted income fund as investment income and are recognised upon receipt of any such income. Equalisation payments received from investments are treated as income of the relevant fund to which the investments are held.
