THE THOMAS FARR CHARITY
LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 of the accounts and comply with the Charities Act 2011 and 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) (effective 1 January 2015).
Objectives and activities
The Thomas Farr Charitable Trust was created by Deed dated 17 October 1989.
The Trustees shall hold the capital and the income of the Trust Fund upon trust to apply income and, as far as may be necessary, the capital for or towards such charitable purposes and to make donations to such charitable bodies or institutions at such times and in such manner as the Trustees may, in their absolute discretion, think fit.
We confirm that there have been no changes in the charity's objectives during the year.
Charitable aims
The charity aims to continue to support charitable bodies and institutions for the longer term future – they look to invest the charity’s funds wisely to ensure sufficient income is generated to support these aims. The charity’s focus is on public benefit in the Nottinghamshire area across various sectors such as community projects, children and youth projects, homelessness, disability, elderly and others.
Public benefit
The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission.
The Trustees support a number of charitable organisations, as shown within note 6 to the financial statements. The Trustees believe all the donations made are for the benefit of the public.
Grant-making policies
Currently the Trustees' policy is to accumulate all written appeals received and to consider them on their individual merits at each Trustee meeting. Only successful applicants are notified of the Trustees' decision.
During the year under review, the Trustees resolved to make a number of donations, as detailed in note 16 of these accounts. All donations are made without any implication or commitment to future donations.
Risk management
The charity trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. The trustees consider variability of investment returns to constitute the charity's major risk. This is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio.
Ruth Warren of Nottinghamshire Community Foundation was delegated day to day management of the charity throughout the year.
Financial review
Total incoming resources were £260,212 (£279,703 in 2024), with £309,476 (£328,739 in 2024) being committed to charitable donations and £30,139 (£28,768 in 2024) relating to costs of generating funds and £15,721 (£15,146 in 2024) relating to governance costs, resulting in net outgoing resources of £105,124 (outgoing £92,950 in 2024)
The total movement of resources in the year also includes the realised gain in the year £19,779 (loss of £154,410 in 2024) and an unrealised loss based upon the market value of the investments at the year end of £341,941 (gain of £782,678 in 2024). The overall movement of resources in the year showed an increase of £466,844 (decrease of £535,318 in 2024)

Reserves
The Trustees consider their investments as part of an unrestricted fund, providing a relatively secure and predictable stream of income from which to make grants. The Trustees aim to distribute a large percentage of the income, net of expenses, in each financial year and therefore do not maintain income reserves as such, however, income levels are continually reviewed by the Trustees at the annual meetings to ensure that they have sufficient funds to meet with their objectives.
Investment performance and policy
It certainly paid off in 2024 to ignore the ‘noise’ and focus on the ‘signals’. We approached the year with a reasonable degree of optimism and it’s fair to say that overall returns had outstripped our expectations as we headed into 2025. It seemed that the key factor for equity investors in 2025 would be the health of the US economy. As it continued to grow, equities made a good start to the year, until an onslaught of policy announcements from the White House sent US and global equities into retreat. Investors were wrongfooted and the expected bullish “Trump Trade” has not been borne out by events. The consensus view was that Americans would be getting tax cuts and deregulation to sweeten the pill of tariffs. It was supposed to unleash animal spirits and to provide support for equities and the dollar. However, it’s been just the bitter stuff so far. Furthermore, whereas tariffs were only expected to be a threat that would quickly be withdrawn once reasonable concessions were offered, they have been much larger than expected and for now they appear to be stickier too.
As we look ahead to the rest of 2025 and beyond, it’s important to bear in mind the longer-term resilience of stock markets. Recent sell-offs are no more pronounced than in 2018, 2020 and 2022, periods of profound economic disruption. And trade policy is far from being the main driver of markets over the long-term. The risk of a financial crisis that takes years to recover from is very low. While the risk of a US recession has gone up, we still don’t believe it’s more likely than not. Finally, we see two potential catalysts for turning more positive and adding to holdings in US and global equities. Firstly, a meaningful rollback of the announced tariffs that caused the selloff in the first place; only the “three Cs” can reverse the tariffs – the courts, Congress and the Big Cheese himself. Secondly, if the tariffs remain in force, evidence that the sell-off has gone too far could be a buying opportunity.

THE THOMAS FARR CHARITY
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 and 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 year.
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;
-
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; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE THOMAS FARR CHARITY
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Thomas Farr Charity (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position, the statement of cash flows and the 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with 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 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 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 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 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.

THE THOMAS FARR CHARITY
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF THE THOMAS FARR CHARITY
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the Trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, 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 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 the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that 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 concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included agreeing the disclosures in the financial statements to the underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management.
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluation whether there was evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of misstatement due to fraud.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.

THE THOMAS FARR CHARITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Thomas Farr Charity is an unincorporated charity.
1.1 Accounting convention
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 and the Charities Act 2011. The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised as historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant policy note.
1.2 Going concern
The trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The review of our financial position, reserves levels and future plans gives Trustees confidence the charity remains a going concern for the foreseeable future.
1.3 Charitable funds
Grants are included in the financial statements when approved by the Trustees and notified to recipients. The value of committed grants unpaid at the year end is accrued. Grants offered that are subject to conditions that have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
1.4 Incoming resources
Investment income is accounted for on an accruals basis in the period to which it relates.
1.5 Debtors
Debtors are receivable at their expected settlement amount.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and cash 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.
1.7 Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
1.8 Resources expended
Management and administration costs comprise those costs incurred in running the charity. They have been apportioned on the basis of time spent between charitable activities, cost of raising funds and governance costs.
Governance costs consist of those costs associated with the overall running of the charity and meeting statutory and regulatory requirements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.9 Financial instruments
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure), except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
The Trust does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
1.10 Investments
Fixed assets investments represent listed investments which are stated at market valuation, where market value represents the mid market value on the last trading day before the year end. Any unrealised or realised gains arising from investments are accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
