THE MITCHELLS & BUTLERS CHARITABLE TRUSTS
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Welfare Fund
The objects of this Fund are primarily to assist pupils resident in Birmingham and Smethwick to attend school, universities and other places of higher education, and secondly to make grants for the relief of necessitous residents of Birmingham and Smethwick.
The Trustees further these objects by making grants to students who fall within the above criteria. Applicants are required to complete an application form, which includes assessment of financial circumstances in order to identify those in need of financial assistance. Should funds permit, applications are considered for hardship grants.
The Trustees further these objects by making grants to people who fall within the above criteria.
The Scholarship Fund
The objects of this Fund are for such exclusively charitable educational purposes related to the brewing industry as the Trustees in their discretion may think fit.
In a letter dated 11 October 2002, the Charity Commission confirmed that 'charitable educational purposes related to the brewing industry' should be applied as including charitable educational purposes related to catering and hotel management, as well as brewing itself.
The Trustees further the objects of the Charity by making grants to charities or educational institutions for courses or projects that fall within the ambit of the objects.
The Mitchell Fund
The objects of this Fund are the relief of need, hardship or distress of employees and former employees in the brewing and catering industries or the licensed retail industry and the dependants of such employees and former employees.
The charity does not employ staff and hence has no key management personnel.
Public benefit
The Trustees have considered the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on 'Charities and Public Benefit'.
The objects of the Welfare Fund, the Scholarship Fund and the Mitchell Fund clearly come within the descriptions of charitable purposes as set out in the Charities Act 2011 and there are identifiable benefits from the grants made. Grants are only made in accordance with the charitable objects of the fund in question.
As indicated above, in considering individual applications for educational grants in the case of the Welfare Fund, the means of applicants and their families are considered and the Trustees target assistance to applicants with low incomes.
Grantmaking
Grants are made from the Welfare Fund, the Scholarship Fund, and the Mitchell Fund.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The Trustees make their grants from the income generated by investments held. The Trustees are advised on investment matters by the Trust's investment advisers, Barclays Wealth, who have been given authority to manage the portfolio on a discretionary basis.
The Trustees' investment philosophy is to adopt a medium/balanced risk investment strategy, investing in an appropriate mix of equities, fixed interest and monetary assets and alternative assets as deemed appropriate and consistent with the Trustees' attitude to risk and the Trustees' requirements for income and capital growth.
The Trustees have not applied any social, environmental or ethical considerations in their investment policies.
The investment objectives are:
(i) The creation of a sufficient financial return to enable the Participating Charities to carry out their purposes effectively and without interruption.
(ii) The maintenance and, if possible, enhancement of the investment funds whilst they are invested.
The Trustees recognise that the returns on equities, while expected to be greater over the longer-term than those of fixed interest and monetary assets, are likely to be more volatile. Investment in a mix of asset classes should nevertheless provide the levels of return required and mitigate volatility for the Trust to achieve its objectives.
The following restrictions are placed upon the investments of the Common Investment Fund:
(i) Investments should be generally marketable.
(ii) No investment in any company quoted on the London Stock Exchange or Investment in pooled vehicles (with the exception of Mitchells & Butlers plc Ordinary Shares) should exceed 10% of the value of total equity portfolio in the CIF.
The Trustees receive from the Charities' Investment Managers a written report and valuation for their consideration at their meetings. A representative of the Manager will meet Trustees at least once a year to review performance over the preceding period and to discuss and agree the future investment strategy.
At least once a year the Manager will provide a written comparison of the performance of the Investment Funds over the last twelve months.
Reserves policy
The Trust needs a sufficient level of free reserves to meet grants and expenses payable in the following year. This reserves policy is reviewed annually by the Trustees. In the case of the Mitchell Fund, as the objects have widened under the Charity Commission Scheme mentioned above, it is anticipated that more grants will be made in order to reduce the large reserves held.

The Henry Mitchell Memorial Scholarship Fund (the 'Scholarship Fund') (Registered Charity Number 528922-2)
The Sir John Edwin and Arthur Mitchell Fund (the 'Mitchell' Fund) (Registered Charity Number 528922-3)
Mitchells & Butlers Trusts Common Investment Fund (the 'CIF') (Registered Charity Number 528922-4)
The Scheme dated 7 April 2008 made by the Charity Commission to establish the CIF contained a uniting direction, providing that all the charities administered by the Mitchells & Butlers Welfare Funds Limited and Mitchells & Butlers Trust Funds Ltd as at the date of the Scheme (including CIF) should be treated as a single charity for the purpose of Part II (accounting) and Part I (registration) of the Charities Act 1993 (now part 8 and part 4 of the Charities Act 2011).

The power of appointing new trustees rests with the trustees for the time being of the Charity.
The Mitchell Fund

Induction and training of new trustees
Each person who becomes a director of one of the two Trustee Companies is given a copy of the governing documents of the Charities and of the Charity Commission publication CC3 'The Essential Trustee'.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charities are exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charities, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to manage exposure to the major risks.
The Trustees are satisfied that adequate systems are in place to detect and minimise the main strategic, business and operational risks which the Charities may face.
The Trustees consider that the major risk to which the Charities are subject to is the volatility in the world's stock, bond and financial markets under the current economic conditions and the consequential uncertainty in terms of the return on the Charities' investments. The Trustees seek advice from the Charities' professional investment advisers, namely Barclays Wealth, in relation to managing the risk.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MITCHELLS & BUTLERS CHARITABLE TRUSTS
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Mitchells & Butlers Charitable Trusts
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Mitchells & Butlers Charitable Trusts (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2022.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

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.
The Sir William Waters Butler Welfare Fund, Henry Mitchell Memorial Scholarship Fund and The Sir John Edwin and Arthur Mitchell Fund are three separate charities with similar objects and interlinked transactions. In accordance with the Charity Commission scheme dated 7 April 2008 the financial transactions of each charity are presented in one set of financial statements.
Where appropriate in the notes to the financial statements the following abbreviations have been adopted.
Sir William Waters Butler Welfare Fund - Welfare Fund The Henry Mitchell Memorial Scholarship Fund - Scholarship Fund The Sir John Edwin and Arthur Mitchell Fund - Mitchell Fund Mitchells & Butlers Trusts Common Investment Fund - Common Investment Fund
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Statutory information

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
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.
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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting General funds
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
Endowment funds
Endowment funds represent grants, donations and legacies received where income may be used for general purposes but the capital must be retained.
Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year.
Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value.
Investments are stated at market value as at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on the revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

Material investments
The Mitchells & Butlers Charitable Trusts have a material investment in Mitchells & Butlers Plc valued at £217,083 at the year end (2021: £298,977).
The fair value of listed investments is determined by reference to the quoted price for identical assets in an active market at the balance sheet date.
All investments are carried at their fair value. Investments in equities and fixed interest securities are all traded in quoted public markets, primarily the London Stock Exchange. Holdings in common investment funds, unit trusts and open-ended investment companies are at the bid price. The basis of fair value for quoted investments is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value).
The main risk to the Charity from financial instruments lies in the combination of uncertain investment markets and volatility in yield. The Charity is reliant on dividend yield to finance its work. Liquidity risk is anticipated to be low as all assets are traded. The Charity's investments are mainly traded in markets with good liquidity and high trading volumes. The Charity has no material investment holdings in markets subject to exchange controls or trading restrictions.
The Charity manages these investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchanges. The Charity does not make use of derivatives and similar complex financial instruments as it takes the view that investments are held for their longer term yield total return and historic studies of quoted financial instruments have shown that volatility in any particular 5-year period will normally be corrected.
