ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Total income for the year under review amounted to £34,234 (2021: £27,521) whilst total expenditure amounted to £48,274 (2021: £58,146).
As a result, net outgoing resources for the year amounted to £14,040 (2021: £30,625). Other recognised gains and losses - representing both realised and unrealised gains and losses on the investment portfolio - however increased reserves by £71,273 (2021: £214,562).
In consequence the overall net movement in funds amounted to an increase of £57,233 (2021: £183,937), and this has been added to funds brought forward resulting in funds to carry forward of £1,123,949 at 5 April 2022.
The market value of the charity's investments amounted to £1,088,054 at 5 April 2022 (2021: £1,026,337).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment management
The charity's investment portfolio is managed on a discretionary basis by J M Finn & Co.
The investments are managed so as to obtain a balance between income and capital growth. The investments comprise a balanced portfolio of equities, with a lower risk profile, fixed interest investments and cash.
There are no specific restrictions other than the investments should be suitable for trusts.
Trust reserves
The trustees consider that reserves remain at a level where the charity can meet its objectives effectively.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The unincorporated charity is controlled by its governing document, a trust deed, dated 12 April 1990 made between the settlor, Charles Paul Thackray and the trustees.
The settlement was established to make funds available for charitable purposes.
The trustees must use the income and may use the capital of the settlement in promoting the objects. There is power to accumulate income for the first 21 years, the accumulation period ended on 12 April 2011.
Recruitment, appointment and training of new trustees
The power of appointing new trustees is vested in the settlor and, after the death of the settlor, in such person or persons as the settlor shall appoint. New trustees will be given appropriate informal training by the board of trustees.
Organisational structure
The trustees meet on an annual basis to consider applications for grants in accordance with the trust's grant making policy. No staff (paid or voluntary) are employed.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE C PAUL THACKRAY GENERAL CHARITABLE TRUST
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of THE C PAUL THACKRAY GENERAL CHARITABLE TRUST
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of THE C PAUL THACKRAY GENERAL CHARITABLE TRUST (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable 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.
