The objects of the Charity are: 

the provision of financial assistance to Rotary charity and other community causes. These recipients can be based locally, nationally or internationally.

## **Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

## **Financial review** 

The trust has received funding from individuals, fund raising events, organisations and investment income, enabling it to support a range of projects and causes. The Trust has been able to generate income from fund raising activities and events, in particular a Dragon Boat Race, a Chamber Music and Choral Concert at Skipton Town Hall, a meal at the Three Peaks Bistro and the Skipton Christmas Markets. Club members' donations and Meeting collections were other significant income sources. The Charity Car Park at the Skipton Building Society's headquarters made a profit of £12,314. As a result of these efforts, total income was £42,233.09, but this was to £3,106 less than in 2021-2022 

The total for donations in the period of this report was £38,033 70. This was an increase of £21,602.19 on the previous year, which reflected a substantial increase in applications for assistance.  Of the total, £24,309 was donated to seventeen local charities, schools, clubs and organizations, including substantial donations to Airedale Hospital, Brooklands Special School, The Principle Trust Children's Charity, Hope for Tomorrow and Skipton Cricket Club. Following the removal of overseas travel restrictions, travel grants were given to four local young people. The Trust passed £1,300 to Rotary Foundation, to assist with Rotary's international work and £2,300 to the Polio Plus campaign, which has almost succeeded in eliminating new cases of Polio worldwide. In addition donations, which totalled £8,004, were made to five international charities, a Sand Dam scheme, a school in South Africa and to six appeals for disaster or humanitarian relief. Many of the teams in the Dragon Boat Race raised money for their own chosen charities. 

Expenses decreased substantially to £14,387.91, as there was only one Dragon Boat Race this year. All but £3,047.91 of that total was related to that Dragon Boat Race. Christmas Market stall expenses were £847.97. New signage for the Car Park cost £442.  The cost of refreshments, prizes and other expenses for Rotary events with young people, such as RYLA, Youth Speaks, Young Photographer and Young Writer was £642.41. 

Largely because of the increase in donations, expenditure exceeded income by £10,188.52 and the closing balance was reduced to £17,424.36.

## **Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The charitable activities for the year are in accordance with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The charity continues to provide grants subject to satisfactory application for funding within its charitable aims and objectives as explained above. 

Planning is in hand for a Brass Band Concert in October and the Skipton Christmas Market in December. Steps have been taken to publicise the availability of grants, through the Club's website and the local press. 

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the 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 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 principals 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; - 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 1993 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations2008. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking the reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees' annual report was approved on 6 February 2024 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by: 

Mr I Smith (Chairman) Trustee

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund** 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements 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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Resources expended** 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates: Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations, grants and legacies and the costs of generating income. Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

## **Investments** 

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment. 

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure. 

## **Investments in associates** 

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost 

less any accumulated impairment losses. 

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. 

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition. 

## **Investments in joint ventures** 

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. 

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. 

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition. 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

**- 9 -** 



## **Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** _**(continued)**_ 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. 

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. 

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. 

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. 

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

## **Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

## **Financial review** 

The trust has received funding from individuals, fund raising events, organisations and investment income, enabling it to support a range of projects and causes. The Trust has been able to generate income from fund raising activities and events, in particular a Dragon Boat Race, a Chamber Music and Choral Concert at Skipton Town Hall, a meal at the Three Peaks Bistro and the Skipton Christmas Markets. Club members' donations and Meeting collections were other significant income sources. The Charity Car Park at the Skipton Building Society's headquarters made a profit of £12,314. As a result of these efforts, total income was £42,233.09, but this was to £3,106 less than in 2021-2022 

The total for donations in the period of this report was £38,033 70. This was an increase of £21,602.19 on the previous year, which reflected a substantial increase in applications for assistance.  Of the total, £24,309 was donated to seventeen local charities, schools, clubs and organizations, including substantial donations to Airedale Hospital, Brooklands Special School, The Principle Trust Children's Charity, Hope for Tomorrow and Skipton Cricket Club. Following the removal of overseas travel restrictions, travel grants were given to four local young people. The Trust passed £1,300 to Rotary Foundation, to assist with Rotary's international work and £2,300 to the Polio Plus campaign, which has almost succeeded in eliminating new cases of Polio worldwide. In addition donations, which totalled £8,004, were made to five international charities, a Sand Dam scheme, a school in South Africa and to six appeals for disaster or humanitarian relief. Many of the teams in the Dragon Boat Race raised money for their own chosen charities. 

Expenses decreased substantially to £14,387.91, as there was only one Dragon Boat Race this year. All but £3,047.91 of that total was related to that Dragon Boat Race. Christmas Market stall expenses were £847.97. New signage for the Car Park cost £442.  The cost of refreshments, prizes and other expenses for Rotary events with young people, such as RYLA, Youth Speaks, Young Photographer and Young Writer was £642.41. 

Largely because of the increase in donations, expenditure exceeded income by £10,188.52 and the closing balance was reduced to £17,424.36.

## **Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The charitable activities for the year are in accordance with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The charity continues to provide grants subject to satisfactory application for funding within its charitable aims and objectives as explained above. 

Planning is in hand for a Brass Band Concert in October and the Skipton Christmas Market in December. Steps have been taken to publicise the availability of grants, through the Club's website and the local press. 

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the 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 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 principals 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; - 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 1993 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations2008. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking the reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees' annual report was approved on 6 February 2024 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by: 

Mr I Smith (Chairman) Trustee

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund** 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements 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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Resources expended** 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates: Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations, grants and legacies and the costs of generating income. Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

## **Investments** 

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment. 

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure. 

## **Investments in associates** 

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost 

less any accumulated impairment losses. 

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. 

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition. 

## **Investments in joint ventures** 

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. 

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. 

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition. 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

**- 9 -** 



## **Rotary Club of Skipton Trust Fund** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 June 2023** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** _**(continued)**_ 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. 

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. 

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. 

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. 

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
