CANON SLADE TRUST
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
The Trustees present their Report and the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity is governed by its Trust Deed, sealed 3 August 1992, (incorporating the Charity called the Bolton Church of England Educational Institution, otherwise known as Canon Slade School, and the Charity known as the Edith Fallows Fund), and Scheme (Modification) Order 1993.
New Trustees are appointed by the board of trustees as and when necessary.
Risk Review
The trustees consider at their meetings any particular business or operational risks which the charity faces. Financial reports are received at each meeting which assist the trustees in monitoring the position and they have not identified any major strategic business or operational risk during the year.
During the year there was a global pandemic (Covid 19) .From March 2020 the government implimented regulations and local lockdowns which resulted in significant loss of income to the trust which has been reflected in the financial statements to 31 December 2020.
Objectives and Activities
To provide for the school such special benefits of any kind as may from time to time be agreed between the Managing Trustees and the governors of the school and being benefits of a kind not normally provided from annual maintenance grant. Or otherwise promote the education (including social and physical training and instruction consistent with the doctrines of the Church of England) of pupils and former pupils of the school who are under the age of 25 years and in need of assistance. An annual appeal is made to the parents of children in school and funds are made available to the school at regular intervals.
Each year the trustees review the objectives and activities of the charity to ensure they continue to reflect their aims and provide public benefit. The trustees are more than satisfied that they do.
Achievements and Performance
During the year the trustees provided assistance to the school in a variety of ways, including the provision of 2 new ovens for the school kitchen and 5 new sets of netball goals and a contribution to the general upkeep of the facilities, including tree maintenance in the school grounds.
Financial Review
Reserves Policy
The trustees consider that, whilst the current level of reserves stands at a reasonable level, the funding requests likely to come from the school over the next few years means that the charity must continue to adopt a cautious policy in relation to its activities.
Investment policy
The trustees have the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property as they see fit. The trustees have engaged Seven Investment Management to manage the investments of the charity and the policy is to adopt a cautious risk investment strategy based on maximising income and, within the strategy, achieving capital growth, where possible, while protecting capital.

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 Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and the statements of recommended practice of the Charity Commission have been followed; and

-
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.
