TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
The Trustees present their annual report along with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 and comply with the Trust Deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ FRS102 and the charities SORP 2019 (SORP 2019).
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Trust is an unincorporated Trust, constituted under a Trust Deed dated 10 April 1986 and is a registered charity, number 327176. The Trust was established by Mr P L Jones. Over the years the Jones family has made substantial gifts to the Charity. The Trust does not actively fundraise and seeks to continue the philanthropic work desired by the family through careful stewardship of its resources.
The power of appointing an additional Trustee or new Trustee or Trustees is vested in the existing Trustees. The Trustees have the power to vary the Settlement by means of supplemental deeds.
Upon appointment of any Trustee a full bespoke induction process is planned in order to ensure complete familiarity and understanding of the Trust’s objectives and operation and the roles and responsibilities of the Trustees.
The Trustees meet quarterly to agree the overall charity strategy which includes the consideration of grants. During the year the processing and handling of applications prior to consideration by the Trustees was delegated to UHY Hacker Young LLP, 14 Park Row, Nottingham, NG1 6GR.
All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of Trustees’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in Notes 16 and 17 of the accounts.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and have established procedures to manage those risks. The Trustees consider the variability of the investment returns on the expendable endowment to constitute the Charity’s major risk. The Trustees monitor this risk with its investment advisers.
TheOBJECTIVESCharity hasANDveryACTIVITIESwide charitable objects and purposes, but it is the Trustees’ intention to make grants primarily to organisations in Nottinghamshire. Although the Trustees have absolute discretion as regards their grant making policy, they restrict grants to other charitable organisations and do not make grants to individuals.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Applications for grants are considered for both capital and/or revenue projects as long as each project appears viable. The Trust pays certain grants quarterly to assist the recipients’ cash flow needs. Although there are no formal agreements, the Trust prefers to develop a relationship with the organisations over an extended period of time.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,

state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE JONES 1986 CHARITABLE TRUST
OPINION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the financial statements of The Jones 1986 Charitable Trust for the year ended 5 April 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cashflows 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- giveand a trueapplication and fairof view resources, ofthe state offor the year then the charity'sended;affairs as at 5 April 2025, and of its incoming resources - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethicat 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's 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 financial statements are 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 other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ annual report, other than the financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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.
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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
Page 5
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE JONES 1986 CHARITABLE TRUST
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement, set out on page 4, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such intemal 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 concer 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
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
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. withReasonableISAs (UK)assurancewill alwaysis adetecthigh levela materialof assurance,misstatementbut is nat when a guaranteeit exists. thatMisstatements an audit conductedcan ariseinfrom accordancefraud 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
— Enquiry of management, those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
« — Enquiry of Trustees to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; * — Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; * — Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing ofjournal entries and other adjustmenis for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
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 or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Trust and rounded to the nearest £1.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
