Report of the Trustees
The Trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2024.
The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Trust deed, and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
Organisation
The Trust is one of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts (SFCT) which share a common administration.
Trustees are appointed by the Settlor, James Sainsbury, and are provided with relevant information relating to their responsibilities as Trustees. The day-to-day running of the Trust and grant management is delegated to the trust executive, with strategic decisions undertaken by the Trustees.
Trustees are aware of the Charity Governance Code published in 2017 (refreshed 2020) which sets out the principles and recommended practice for good governance within the sector. The Trust has reviewed its governance arrangements against the principles within the Code and believes that it is compliant, whilst maintaining its need to operate its governance efficiently. Trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and planning future activities.
The remuneration of the senior staff (including key management personnel) is reviewed by the Trustees on an annual basis taking into account the requirements of their role and performance during the year. From time to time, the SFCT Management Committee benchmarks pay levels against the comparable positions in similar organisations.
The Trust and its Trustees are fully aware of the requirements and duties set out in the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016. The Trust does not undertake fundraising from the general public and does not use professional fundraisers or commercial participators.
The income of the Trust is not bound by any regulatory scheme, and the Trust does not consider it necessary to comply with any voluntary code of practice relating to fundraising. We have received no complaints in relation to any fundraising activities. As we do not approach individuals for the purpose of raising funds, we do not have specific requirements related to fundraising activities, nor do we consider it necessary to design specific procedures to monitor such activities.
The Trust has no fundraising activities requiring disclosure under Section 162A of the Charities Act 2011.

Report of the Trustees (continued)
Grant making Policy
Proposals are generally invited by the Trustees or initiated at their request. Unsolicited applications are unlikely to be successful, even if they fall within an area in which the Trustees are interested. Grants are not normally made to individuals. There have been no significant changes in the grant making policies of the Trust during the year under review and the Trustees’ objective is to continue grant making as set out on page 6.
Reserves Policy and going concern
It is the policy of the Trustees to approve grants for payment over a period of years, subject to certain conditions over the life of the grant. Grants that are expected to be paid within twelve months of the year-end are accrued in the accounts, whilst those due to be paid later than this are not accrued. Grants not accrued are referred to in note 5 to the accounts and amount to nil. Cash flow projections for income and expenditure are regularly reviewed to ensure that the level of available reserves is adequate and that the Trust is in a position to meet all its commitments.
As at 5 April 2024, the Trust held total funds of £12,445,053 (2023: £10,522,427), comprising of an expendable endowment fund of £12,444,382 (2023: £10,522,427) and unrestricted funds of £671 (2023: £nil).
The Trustees consider that when possible, it is appropriate to hold free funds, both to meet the shortterm working capital needs of the Trust and in anticipation of the potential payment of subsequent grants. In the event that the Trustees find themselves unable to meet commitments from unrestricted reserves, they would be willing to draw on expendable endowment in order to meet those commitments, as they see fit.
The Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties that would prevent the financial statements from being prepared on a going concern basis.
Charity and Public Benefit
Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on Charity and Public Benefit and confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to it. They consider the full information which follows in this annual report about the Trust’s aims, activities and achievements, and that the areas of interest the Trust supports demonstrates the benefit to its beneficiaries, and through them to the Public, that arise from those activities.

Report of the Trustees (continued)
Investment Policy
Trustees meet with their investment managers regularly to discuss investment strategy and also to seek to ensure that the Trust’s income requirements are met, and that long term capital growth is in line with relevant indices. The Trustees normally hold investments for the long term.
During the period, the investments under management made a gain of 14.2%. The composite benchmark for the year, MSCI PIMFA Private Investor - Growth, shows a gain of 14.6%%.
The Charity has adopted a total return basis to budget for amounts made available for charitable activity. The endowment assets of the Trust remain significant, and the Trust will continue to pay out to its beneficiaries in accordance with the Trust’s objects.
The Trust Deed empowers the Trustees to appoint investment advisers who have the discretion to invest the funds of the Trust within guidelines established by the Trustees.
Risk Assessment
The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks to which the Trust may be exposed. Through the joint office of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts, adequate systems are in place to meet such potential risks as have been drawn to the Trustees’ attention. The Trustees continue to be vigilant and to keep processes under review.
The Trustees identified the uncertainty of financial returns to constitute the Trust’s major financial risk. This is mitigated by having a diversified financial portfolio under the management of a major investment house. The Trustees regularly review investments strategy and monitor financial performance. They also operate a grant distribution formula which helps to ensure the stability of resources available for grant awards in any given year.
The Trustees have identified as a key risk the misuse of funds by a grantee. To mitigate this risk, the Trustees normally restrict grants to charities registered with the Charity Commission (England and Wales) or equivalent bodies. The awards are made following a thorough assessment and grants are regularly monitored; multi-year grants are paid only on receipt of satisfactory progress reports.

Report of the Trustees (continued)
Environmental Policy
The Trustees are committed to using some of the Trust’s expendable endowment for impact investing that will not only result in a financial return, but also produce social and environmental benefits that accord with the Trust’s objectives. The Trustees are interested in sharing their experience in impact investing with other investors to improve their own knowledge in these areas, and also to encourage more investors to adopt this approach. A specialist advisor has been appointed by the Trustees to advise on investment opportunities in this area.
DivestInvest is a global movement of investors working to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Trust is a signatory to DivestInvest, which commits the Trust to sell any shares in fossil fuel holdings and invest a proportion of the endowment in climate solutions such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, battery storage, sustainable agriculture and clean energy access.
Review of the Past Year
The net asset value of the Trust at 5 April 2024 was £12,445,053 which is an increase on the value last year (£10,522,427). This was mainly due to the gain on investments during the year. The net unrestricted income of the Trust for the year after charging support costs increased to £91,378 (2023: £22,418).
The Trustees met twice during the year to make grants and twice to review investment activity.
During the year, the Trustees approved 15 grants to the value of £270,707.
Grants paid during the year may be analysed by number and by value in the categories set out below.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
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 charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
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 UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
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 proper 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. 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of The Tedworth Charitable Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Tedworth Charitable Trust (the ‘Trust’) for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 2024 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
-
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 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 Trust’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
Report and Accounts – 5 April 2024
11
The Tedworth Charitable Trust 5 April 2024
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.
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 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
The information given in the trustees’ annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements;
-
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 statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, 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
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. 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,
Report and Accounts – 5 April 2024
12
The Tedworth Charitable Trust 5 April 2024
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 are set out below.
Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
We enquired of management and the board of trustees, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to:
-
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
-
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.
-
We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
-
We reviewed any reports made to regulators.
-
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
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.
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.

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 preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
In the view of the Trustees, there are no material uncertainties casting doubt on the going concern of the charity.
Having assessed the Trust's financial position and plans for the foreseeable future, the Trustees are satisfied that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
The Charity has adopted a total return basis to budget for amounts made available for charitable activity. The endowment assets of the Trust remain significant, and the Trust will continue to pay out to its beneficiaries in accordance with the Trust’s objects.
b) Income Recognitio n
- i) Income is shown gross which includes the associated tax credit unless the tax so deducted is considered irrecoverable.

They include a share of the staff and office costs of the joint offices of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts, which are allocated in proportion to the time spent on Trust matters and grants paid.
d) Investments
-
i) Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
-
ii) Social Impact Investments are valued at their fair value. Where fair value is not practicable, social investments are recognised at cost less impairment.
e) Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are depreciated at rates which reflect their useful life to the Trust. Leasehold improvments are depreciated over the outstanding life of the lease at the time the work was completed. The following rates have been used:
Leasehold improvements (2022) - 14.29% per annum
f) Financial Instruments
The Trust 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.
At the balance sheet date the charity held financial assets at fair value of £11,842k (2023: £9,544k)

g) 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.
h) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
i) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
j) Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the statement of financial activities in the period to which they relate.
k) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
-
i) In the application of the charity's accounting policies, which are described above, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
-
ii) 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
-
iii) In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result In a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
-
iv) Impact and programme related investments carried at cost are subject to annual impairment review by the Trustees in tandem with external expert advice on the current status of the related activities.
l) Exchange and currency gains and losses
Exchange and currency gains and losses comprise gains and losses on forward exchange contracts, together with the currency gains and losses on cash accounts, held within the Trust's investment portfolio.

12. Related party transactions
Included within grant related support costs is a total of £4,200 (2023: £864) payable for legal services to BDB Pitmans, a firm in which Mr D Flynn is a partner.
During the year, no grants (2023: nil) were approved where a conflict of interest with the beneficiary was identified.
All grant-making is made at arm's length, and in the normal course of the trusts' activities. Where any conflicts of interest may occur, appropriate action is taken to mitigate any risk of undue influence or control in the decision-making process. Applicant organisations are not controlled by The Tedworth Charitable Trust, and the Trustees are mindful of the need to consider any potential conflicts of interest when making grant awards.
