## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been most satisfactory. The results for the year and the financial position of the Charity are as shown in the annexed financial statements. 

There are no restrictions on the charity's power to invest. The investment strategy is set by the trustees and takes account of recent demand for funds and the quality of funding applications. The trustees consider the income requirements, the risk profile and the investment manager's view of the market prospects in the medium term. This strategy is set within an overall policy which states that the general fund is to be invested in medium risk investments. Our strategy is reviewed with our investment managers annually. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level sufficient to cover management and administration costs and to respond to emergency applications for grants which arise from time to time.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Organisational structure** 

The trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out below. Trustees are appointed by the board of trustees and serve for five years after which period they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. The trustees consist of five cooperative members and two nominative members. The nominative members are proposed by Billinge Parish Council and St Aidan's Parochial Church Council respectively. 

The trustees meet annually at the AGM and at extraordinary general meetings as required. 

## **Related parties** 

The charity has very close relationships with The John Eddleston Field Society and John Eddleston Vicarage Moneys, which are charities, all of which nominate trustees and provide funding to enable the charity to carry out its charitable objectives. 

It has been agreed that the charity will pay the accountancy and secretarial fees of The John Eddleston Field Society along with all insurance costs relating to The John Eddleston Centre and Eddleston Recreational Field, and provide funds as necessary to the Society to meet costs (see note 13 of the financial statements). 

The quarterly interest received on the John Eddleston Vicarage Moneys investments is deposited into the John Eddleston's Charity bank account, which is then payable directly to the Vicar of Billinge (see note 13 of the financial statements). In the absence of a Vicar this will be donated to certain schools and the church in Billinge.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JOHN EDDLESTON'S CHARITY** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of John Eddleston's Charity** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of John Eddleston's Charity (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **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: 

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

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Investment income is included when received into the bank deposit accounts. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly relate to charitable activities. Support costs include office costs, finance, insurance, investment management fees and governance costs which support the charity activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is not charged on land as the residual value is considered to be higher than the carrying value. Buildings are written off on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of fifty years. 

## **Taxation** 

As a registered charity, the charity is generally exempt from Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax, but not from VAT.  Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Investments are included at closing mid-market value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities 

## **Operating lease arrangements** 

License fees receivable under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **Trade 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. 

## **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 trade discounts due. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid deposits.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only 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. 

## **Impairment of assets** 

At each reporting date assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared to its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss. 

If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.
