THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

For the year ended 31 March 2025

Financial review

The Trustees have concluded that all of the Charity’s current funds should be undesignated. The Trustees anticipate that the current funds will be sufficient to meet its current and foreseeable obligations.

The Trustees meet regularly to ensure that sufficient funds are held by the Charity and to review the progress made by the recipients of previous donations and grants. At these meetings, the Trustees also consider whether the investment of the Charity’s funds is appropriate and generates a satisfactory return.

The Trustees’ long-term aim is to maintain sufficient levels of investments and funds to generate income to fund future grant-making in the order of £3.5m (2024: £3.5m) per annum in perpetuity. In order to achieve this target, and to comply with Charities SORP, the Charity’s financial statements show an Unrestricted Income Fund surplus, which the Trustees have decided to transfer to the Centenary Fund. The Centenary Fund was set up by the Trustees to mark Sir Donald Gosling’s 100th birthday in 2029. One or more large projects will be supported in this year and the Centenary Fund will be used for this purpose.

The Charity is making progress towards this aim having total investment income for the year of £5,097,905 (2024: £4,743,616). The Trustees consider the risks associated with the assets in which funds are held and aim to maintain an appropriate mix of assets in order to realise the long-term aim. The Trustees continue to monitor regularly the value of investments and their financial performance in order to achieve long-term targets. The Charity had a net surplus for the year of £3,403,252 (2024: net surplus £8,268,017) after net gains/(losses).

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to invest any monies of the Charity upon such investments and in such manner as may from time to time be expedient. To see how expenditure meets the objects of the Charity, please refer to “Progress and achievements” below.

Progress and achievements

The Trustees and staff launched an online Grant Management System accessed via the Foundation’s website (www.thegoslingfoundation.com) through which applicants submit their applications for the Trustees’ consideration. Applicants gain access to this system via a tailored Eligibility Quiz. These new systems seek to streamline applications and coherently provide Trustees with information to make their decisions.

During the year ended 31 March 2025, the Trustees and staff held an in-person meeting with property and investment managers to discuss their respective performances, determine future investment opportunities and outline their requirements for returns on the Foundation’s investment. The funds are now fully invested.

The Trustees and staff continue to make in-person visits to some grant applicants and grantees where the grant is in excess of £100,000. Visits are organised at the Trustees’ discretion and are conducted to further assess a grant application that has been made or to follow up on the progress of an existing grant.

Plans for future periods

The Trustees' aim is to distribute in the order of £3.5m during the year ending 31 March 2026 and to review the progress made by the recipients of previous donations and grants to confirm how the Charity’s grants have been applied or regarding projects that the Charity’s funding has made possible.

The Trustees and staff plan to continue to develop and finesse the Grant Management System as and where necessary.

The Trustees and staff plan to continue making in-person visits to both prospective and existing grantees where the grant is over £100,000.

The Trustees are confident that sufficient income will be generated to enable the Charity to meet its objects.

THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

For the year ended 31 March 2025

The Trustees continue to review the Charity’s objects to ensure that they reflect their focus areas more accurately.

Structure, governance and management

The Gosling Foundation Limited is a company limited by shares and a registered Charity governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 5 March 1985.

The Trustees may appoint a person who is willing to act to be a Trustee either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Trustee. Subject to Article 31, a Trustee may be appointed under the Memorandum and Articles of Association to hold office for life or any other period or upon such terms in respect of their retirement as the Trustees shall at the time of their appointment determine.

Whilst the Trustees are not currently actively seeking new Trustees, they have considered their recruitment, appointment and training and have agreed that any new Trustee would have to be reputable, professional and selected based on their suitability for the role. As and when a new Trustee is appointed, they will be given a full induction, part of which is familiarisation with the Charity’s governing document. The administration team is responsible for obtaining relevant training material.

The number of members of the Charity is limited to 50. The Charity currently has three Trustees, as required by the Charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Trustees aim to meet once a month to administer the affairs of the Charity. The frequency of meetings may change in the future.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and a system has been established to mitigate those risks. The principal risk and uncertainty for the Charity relates to income generation in order to be able to award grants and cover other costs. The Charity holds a mixed portfolio of investments and the Trustees have established a system to review major risks and to mitigate those risks by regularly reviewing the portfolio. The exposure of the Charity to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cashflow risk from holding its investments is therefore considered limited.

Reference and administrative information

The Reference and Administrative information, as well as the Trustees who served during the year, are shown on page 3 of this report.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

For the year ended 31 March 2025

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of The Gosling Foundation Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Gosling Foundation Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 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 original financial statements were 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees Responsibilities (set out on page 8), 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

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:

As part of our audit planning, we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the Charity. We gained an understanding of the Charity and the sector in which the Charity operates as part of this assessment to identify the key laws and regulations affecting the Charity. As part of this, we reviewed the Charity’s website for an indication of any regulations in place and discussed these with the relevant individuals responsible for compliance. The key regulations we identified were Charity legislation and employment law. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP - FRS 102.

We discussed with management how the compliance with laws and regulations is monitored and discussed policies and procedures in place. We also identified the individuals who have responsibility for ensuring that the Charity complies with laws and regulations and deals with reporting any issues if they arise. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the Charity’s ability to continue trading and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts.

Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved the following:

THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate omissions, collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities is available 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 charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees 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 charitable company and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

1.1 Basis of preparation

The charity is a public benefit entity. The address of registered office is The Studio, 2 A Kempson Road, London, England, SW6 4PU.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and 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) (2nd Edition, effective January 2019) (“Charities SORP”), the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

1.2 Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, on the following basis:

a Investment properties

Income from investment properties comprises income derived from the leasing of commercial properties to tenants. The properties are leased to tenants under operating lease agreements and rentals are recognised in the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account) on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Where rental income is structured to increase in line with expected general inflation, the rental agreements are amended on an annual basis and income is subsequently recognised in the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account).

The charity has taken advance of the optional exemption available on transition to FRS 102, which allows lease incentives on leases entered into before the date of transition to the standard on 1 April 2014, to continue to be charged over the period to the first market rent review, rather than the term of the lease.

Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term, where leases were entered into after the FRS 102 transition date on 1 April 2014.

b Listed investments

Dividends and commission are recognised when receivable and represent income received from listed securities.

c Interest receivable

Interest is recognised when receivable by the charity and represents treasury, bank and investment interest.

d Other income

Other income is recognised when receivable by the charity and represents income from insurance rebates and bank compensation.

1.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

THE GOSLING FOUNDATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

For the year ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.3 Expenditure (continued)

a Raising funds

This comprises property management costs and investment managers fees which are recognised on an accruals basis. Any irrecoverable VAT is added to the related expense.

b Grant making

Grants are accounted for in full in the period the grants are approved and the decision is notified to the recipient irrespective of the period covered by the grant. Grants awarded but not yet paid are recorded as grant commitments in the balance sheet. Any conditional grants are not provided for until the Trustees are satisfied that the conditions or grant terms have been met. Grant commitment creditors are split between creditors amounts falling due within one year and creditors amounts falling due after one year according to when the grants will be paid (see note 5).

c Governance costs

Governance costs include external audit and accountancy fees and are recognised on an accruals basis. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

1.4 Defined contribution pension plan

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid, the charity has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in Other Creditors as a liability on the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.

1.5 Investment properties

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, which includes the original purchase price and the costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into its working condition for its intended use.

Investment properties are included on the balance sheet at their fair value which is determined annually. No depreciation is provided. Realised gains and losses on the disposal of investments are calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds, after deducting selling costs, and the fair value. Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement between fair values. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are included on the face of the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account).

1.6 Listed investments

Listed investments are stated in the financial statements at fair value. Realised gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and the original cost. Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement between fair values. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are included on the face of the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account). Listed investments are held primarily to provide an investment return for the charity.

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

1.8 Funds

The charity maintains an Unrestricted Income Fund, Centenary Fund and an Expendable Endowment Fund.

Income generated by the Expendable Endowment Fund is recognised as part of the Unrestricted Income Fund. Unrealised revaluation gains on investment properties and listed investments are taken to Unrealised Investment Gains, which for the purpose of charity fund accounting is part of the Expendable Endowment Fund. Revaluation losses are also taken to Unrealised Investment Gains to the extent that there is an Unrealised Investment Gains surplus in respect of the relevant asset.

The Expendable Endowment Fund was established from donations received for that purpose. This fund arises from the proceeds of a special dividend and the sale of the charity’s previous holding in National Parking Corporation Limited. The primary intention in establishing an Expendable Endowment Fund is for funds to be invested so as to generate future income for the purpose of the charity. The Trustees shall also be permitted to convert any or the entire Expendable Endowment Fund to the Unrestricted Income Fund, however in any decision whether or not to convert endowment monies into expendable income the Trustees should have regard for the primary intention of this endowment. The Trustees aim to increase the total funds of the charity to a level that will allow ongoing future annual donations of £2.5 million per annum.

Any funds receivable during the relevant accounting year but not utilised are carried forward as part of the Unrestricted Income Fund.

The Centenary Fund was set up by trustees to mark Sir Donald Gosling’s 100th Birthday in 2029. One or more large projects will be supported in this year and the Centenary Funds will be used for this purpose.

1.9 Leases

Finance leases, which transfer to the charity substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the present value of minimum lease payments.

Rents receivable under operating leases are recognised in the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account) on a straight line basis over the lease term.

1.10 Foreign Currency

The charitable company’s functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account).

1.11 Financial Instruments

a Financial assets

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

At the end of each reporting period, financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

For the year ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.11 Financial Instruments (continued)

a Financial assets (continued)

The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account). If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account).

b Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished; this is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

c Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.12 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the charity’s financial statements require the Trustees to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, at the reporting date. However uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

1.13 Valuation of investment property

The fair value of investment property (note 9) is valued at the Trustees’ consideration that the values from the prior year are still considered fair value at year end. The investment properties are held at the valuations provided in previous years by professional external valuers using recognised valuation techniques. Determination of the fair value of the assets requires the use of estimates, taking into account future cash flows from the asset (such as lettings, future revenue streams and the overall repair and condition of the property). These estimates are based on local market conditions existing at the reporting date.

1.14 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is charged to the statement of financial activities (including an income and expenditure account) on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of tangible fixed assets. The rate used is:
