KEMP HOUSE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, which have been subject to independent examination.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's trust deed, 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 from 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
Purposes and aims
The Declaration of Trust created on 6 May 1981 and subsequent amendments govern the Trust. A scheme to update the constitution was agreed by the Charity Commission on 30 July 2013 and a further deed of variation completed on 31 March 2014.
Our objectives: To provide clinical, emotional and spiritual care with practical support for people, their families, carers and the wider community who may be affected by serious life limiting illness within Kidderminster and district.
Our Activities: KEMP House Trust's principal current activity is to manage its investment portfolio and support the charitable activities of KEMP Hospice (formerly KEMP House Trust Limited, charity number 1146310 and company number 7846810) by providing the hospice building at a peppercorn rent and financial support in the form of grants.
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
Beneficiaries of our services
In the current year the Trust has made a grant of £275k to KEMP Hospice to enable it to adapt and continue its support of people with life limiting illnesses, their families and carers including provision of a day hospice, bereavement counselling for adults and children and support for carers. These services, provided free of charge to service users, benefit both service users and the community as a whole.

KEMP HOUSE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Achievements and performance
Financial review
The Trust's work is now almost entirely reliant on income and investment returns from its investment portfolio and legacies.
The trustees work closely with their investment advisors with the aim of creating a reserve that will grow at least in ' line with inflation such that when called upon, its purchasing power will not have diminished.
In managing the investment portfolio the trustees changed to a medium term investment strategy of 5 years to reflect the anticipated longevity of the fund. Dividends are reinvested as they arise.
The trustees meet regularly with their investment advisors to review strategy and performance. The annual net return achieved on listed investments during the year was 2.10% against a benchmark of 3.82%, disappointingly lower than the respective figures for the previous year of 7.17% and 9.86%. Current year performance was against a backdrop of uncertainty with a change of government in UK and the re-election of President Donald Trump in USA. Markets continued to be led by the Mega -cap US equities, whilst inflation and interest rates failed to fall as rapidly as anticipated. The year end valuations reflect anxiety over the US trade tariffs announced two days after the year end. The fund's performance against the benchmark, is kept constantly under review.
Investment income totalled £62.2k in the year against £74.1k in 2023/24.
Grants and contributions made during the year totalled £275k (2024: £351k).
Income from donations and legacies amounted to £46k (2024: £2.4k).
As of 31 March 2025 the fair value of fixed investments was £1.74m compared to £1.95m as at 31 March 2024. The 2025 figure includes £18.8k held by the investment broker pending reinvestment (2024: £37.4k).
Cash at bank at the year-end stood at £195k down from £482.9k (31 March 2024).
Net assets at 31 March 2025 were £2.01m (2024: £2.24m).
Reserves policy and going concern
With net assets at £2.01m (2024: £2.24m) and net current assets at £174k (2024: £198.9k), the finances of the Trust remain healthy.
A medium risk approach is taken to investment and the holding is spread in terms of market sector and world markets to minimise risk.
The trustees have reviewed the position on holding reserves and have concluded that a specific policy is inappropriate. The Trust's charitable purpose is to provide funding to other organisations whose activities meet the objects of the Trust. It is not to build up substantial reserves. The Trust does not actively raise funds and over time legacies and donations will dry up. The Trust has no direct employees and whilst creditors stand at £30.9k they are covered substantially by net assets. The financial position of the Trust is kept under review to ensure that we can meet any commitments as they become due.
Of the £2.01m (2024: £2.24m) funds held by the Trust at 31 March 2025 £1.7m (2024: £1.9m) is for unrestricted use. The £335k (2024: £335k) restricted funds are for capital projects in the main.
Structure, governance and management
The organisation is an unincorporated charity registered as a charity on 6 May 1981 in England and Wales.
The charity is constituted under a trust deed dated 12 February 1981 and subsequent amendments. A scheme to update the constitution was agreed by the Charity Commission on 30 July 2013 anda further deed of variation was completed on 31 March 2014.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Appointment of trustees
Trustees are elected or co-opted and the total number of trustees may not be less than three. New trustees are deemed to be appointed by resolution of the board. The board of trustees can co-opt members for terms determined by the board at the time of their co-option. In appointing trustees the board look for individuals with relevant experience and integrity.
Related parties and relationships with other organisations
In pursuit of its charitable objectives, the trust provides funding to KEMP Hospice, a stand-alone charitable company limited by guarantee. To assist in communication between the organisations, a trustee/director of each organisation meets from time to time to verify that funds are being utilised effectively in line with the Trust's objectives.
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:
-
e Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
e 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
-
e 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. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other[jurisdictions.]
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

- 1.10 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Provisions are recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the charity will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period in which it arises.
-

Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and that any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the charity.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

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.
