Foundation of Christ's Hospital at Lincoln
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
Governance
The charity is presently governed by a Charity Commission Scheme dated 2 August 1983 which amalgamated the previous charity of this name with a separate charity called The Lincoln School. The scheme number is L4-527 616/8.
Governors
The governors have served as stated on pages 4.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
In setting our objectives, governors have given careful consideration to The Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education.
The charity's main objective is as follows:-
Subject to payment of the charity's administration and maintenance expenses, the income generated by the charity is devoted to the advancement of education for individuals, both while they are pupils at the Lincoln Christ's Hospital School and during further education up to the age of 25. This objective is achieved by providing grants, buildings, facilities and open spaces to both individuals and organisations.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Throughout the period of this report Terms of Reference (ToRs) were introduced for the charity. Under 2.4 of The Charity Commission for England and Wales internal financial controls checklist entitled 'Information and Communication' ToRs have been completed and are being reviewed on an annual basis for the Foundation Committee, Finance Committee and Legacy Committee.
Additionally, policies have been introduced for Reserves, Expenses and Reimbursement, Tainted Donations, Grants and Investment.
The Foundation has donated sums of money totalling £9,500 (almost a tenfold increase from 2021) to 19 students. A verification process and grants policy protocols confirmed that the requests were genuine and the aspirations realistic. The students used these funds for a variety of reasons, mainly for items of equipment, books and assistance with travel related to their chosen ongoing studies. The funding has allowed the pupil applicants to enhance their educational experiences and helped to motivate them in their chosen fields of study.
The school archivists funded by the Foundation prepared various occasional papers and presentations to the public throughout this period.
Due to the timing of the year end an increase on the investments had occurred in the prior year resulting in an overall surplus of £183,940, this year followed with an excess in net gains on investments amounting to £72,954. This has resulted in a surplus for the year of £112,150 and so had sufficient reserves to enable the charity to make grants to Lincoln Christ's Hospital School.
£100,000 was also taken from the surplus on the current account and invested with the existing Investec Portfolio. An annual presentation was given by Investec to the Foundation the night before the Russian invasion of Ukraine (fortunately no funds are invested in either country) however the incident rocked global markets with subsequent sharp falls of investment to be expected.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees believe that the charity is a viable going concern with free reserves of £137,661 (2021: £153,224) and sufficient operational reserves to cover essential costs being the Clerks' fees and Independent Examiner's fees which are annually in the region of £5,000 and £3,000 respectively. The archivist fee accrual from prior year was too high in the 2021 year and no costs were included within the 2022 year thus the figures collating these balances are merely the accrual movements. Due to the accrual being included, these figures will be in line with the forecasted figures for 2023.
The investment property was impaired last year owing to the Covid-19 pandemic and the Foundation agreed to a "rental holiday" on property which it owns in Scunthorpe.
The monies received from school lettings has been significantly affected in the period since March 2021 and therefore the donations being given by the Foundation to the school. The Trustees are confident that once the Covid-19 restrictions are relaxed this income will return to more normal levels.

FINANCIAL REVIEW THE GOVERNORS OF THE FOUNDATION OF CHRIST'S HOSPITAL AT LINCOLN
The governors of the above trust submit their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 and confirm that the financial statements comply with statutory requirements and the Charity Commission's Scheme.
The investment and donation income of the trust was £101,197 (2021: £211,425) the donations returned to a more normal level following the previous years one off large donation.
FUTURE PLANS
During the year ended 31 March 2022 the trustees agreed and paid for a 5 Year Maintenance Plan (Conditions Survey Report) which sets out options of building works and ongoing maintenance activities for the school premises. The trustees are in discussions with the school with respect to the building works and have agreed in principle to match-fund contributions with the school moving forwards.
The top playing field of the school is unregistered and possessory title process has been commenced.
A new committee entitled LCHS@50 is being formulated to create a new archival resource for Lincoln Christ's Hospital School from 1974 onwards and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the formation of the non-selective school in 2024. Pro-bono assistance is being given by Dr Mike Rogers from The National Archives in these endeavours.

These have now been adopted by the Foundation to ensure that good practice prevails and that the charity's performance is reviewed on an annual basis.

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. Income is taken into credit by reference to the date of payment of dividends or the date on which interest is credited to Trust deposits. No credit is taken for dividends or interest accruing.
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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Fixed asset investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible Fixed Assets are recorded at cost or, in the events of goods being donated, at valuation at the time of acquisition.
Investment property
Investment property is shown at fair value. Any changes to the fair value are included within the Statement of Financial Activities.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
