I
THE JACK BRUNTON CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025 eee STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued )
The trustees, who are appointed by the Board of Trustees, meet four times a year to consider what donations should be made. They have appointed an administrator to deal with the day to day administration of donations and the processing and handling of applications.
RISK REVIEW
The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the trust is exposed and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the trust are to benefit the population of the villages and towns within the boundary of the North Riding of Yorkshire prior to the boundary changes in 1974, by making donations to needy charitable causes.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the trust's aims and objectives.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the trust continued to support a variety of needy causes, making donations to 102 different charitable organisations.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The funds under management generated income of £252,670 during the year, a yield of around 2.3% on the fund value. Donations amounting to £288,250, as detailed in the accounts, were made and administrative and governance costs totalled £29,038, resulting in net expenditure for the year of £64,617. Capital of £57,530 was withdrawn from the investment portfolio to fund donations and the net movement in unrestricted funds was a decrease of £7,087.
Due to worldwide stock market volatility, investment values fell significantly shortly before the year end and at 5 April 2025 the value of the trust's endowment fund was £10,604,657. However, values have recovered since the year end.
RESERVES POLICY
Unrestricted reserves are held in order to provide funds which can be designated to specific projects to enable such projects to be undertaken at short notice, and to cover the associated administration costs. Funds are also required to cover any donations pledged but not yet paid.
At 5 April 2025 unrestricted funds were £61,499, which the trustees feel is higher than is generally needed to meet these short term requirements. However, the trustees monitor and review the level of reserves at their quarterly meetings and the surplus funds will be distributed to worthy causes when suitable applications are received.

THE JACK BRUNTON CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025 eee STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generaliy Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; , observe the methods and principles 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; and
-
° prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- ° there is no information of which the trust's auditors are unaware; and ° the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

THE JACK BRUNTON CHARITABLE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JACK BRUNTON CHARITABLE TRUST
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of The Jack Brunton Charitable Trust (‘the charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
. give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 5 April 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
° have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
. 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 taw. 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 charity'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 information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JACK BRUNTON CHARITABLE TRUST
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
Eee
OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
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 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
° the information given in the trustees’ report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
° sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or , the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records: or ° we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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 the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materia! 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, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
-
. we identified the key laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with the management and from our knowledge and experience of the sector in which the charity operates:
-
° we focussed on laws and regulations where it was considered that non-compliance could have a direct and material impact on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, which included the Charities Act 2011 and FRS 102;
-
. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and as part of our procedures on related financial statement items, including inspecting applicable documentation;
-
° we assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management regarding their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud and by assessing other factors including, but not limited to, the role of accounting estimates, internal control systems, management override and journal entries.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team then included the following (using a sample basis as applicable):
-
. considering issues regarding income recognition; . testing of journal entries and complex transactions;
-
° considering the rationale behind identified significant or unusual transactions; and ° assessing whether judgements and assumptions made in the calculation of any identified notable accounting estimates appeared reasonable.
It is noted that, in light 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 noncompliance 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 FRC's website at:
www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
