TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
Constitution, Objects and Policies
The charity was established by a Deed of Trust dated 30 January 1868 and is administered under Royal Charters dated 11 September 1868 and 30 January 1887. The original deed was varied by the scheme set forth on the schedule to the Board of Education Scheme (Crossley and Porter Orphan Home and School) Confirmation Act 1919, Articles of Government established by the Minister of Education under the Education Act 1944 on 21 October 1946, a scheme made by the said Minister on 29 December 1960 and by Schemes of the Charity Commissioners of 16 August 1976, 26 October 1978, 30 December 1980, 6 January 1988, 20 June 1988 and 30 April 1992, as amended by a Trust Modification Order dated 16 December 2012.
The annual income of the charity (net of appropriate expenses) is to be applied as follows:
a) as to such sum as the Trustee may determine not exceeding £24,000 or one fifth of such income (whichever is the greater), or such other sum as the Charity Commissioners may from time to time approve, in providing such special benefits for The Crossley Heath Academy as may from time to time be agreed between the Trustee and the Governors of the said school.
b) as to such sum as the Trustee may determine not exceeding £16,000 or three tenths of such income (whichever is the greater), or such other sum as the Charity Commissioners may from time to time approve, in promoting the education (including social and physical training) of persons under the age of 25 years who or whose parents are resident in the area of The Borough Council of Calderdale or who have at any time attended as a pupil at any school or former school of the charity and who are in need of financial assistance and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing -
(i) in awarding to such persons scholarships, exhibitions, bursaries, maintenance allowances or grants tenable at any school, university, college of education, or other institution of further (including professional and technical) education approved for the purpose by the Trustee:
(ii) in providing financial assistance, outfits, clothing, tools, instruments or books to assist such persons to pursue their education (including the study of music and other arts), to undertake travel in furtherance thereof, or to prepare for or enter a profession, trade, occupation or service on leaving school, university, or other educational establishment.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Cont'd)
c) as to the residue of such income, for the benefit of persons who have lost either both parents or one parent, or whose parents are living temporarily or permanently apart, preference being given to such persons as aforesaid who are resident in the area of the former County of York, in one or both of the following ways:
-
(i) in relieving such persons who are in conditions of need, hardship and distress;
-
(ii) in promoting the education (including social and physical training) of such persons.
A grants sub-committee of trustees meets at intervals during the year to consider grant applications under the above categories.
Organisation
The charity is administered by family, nominated, representative and co-optative Governors as previously detailed. Representative Governors are appointed for 3 years, all other Governors being appointed for 5 years.
Financial review, Investment Policy and Reserves Policy
A net surplus (after expenses and grants) of £2,910 is reported on the unrestricted fund and a deficit of £13,589 on the restricted funds. The trusts' shareholdings are revalued annually and the year end revaluation resulted in unrealised losses totalling £157,648.
The charity's investments are held by independent stockbrokers (as shown in trust information) who are also responsible for advising the trustees regarding same.
The trustees consider the charity to be generally in a sound financial position and that sufficient resources are held in an appropriate form to enable each fund to be applied in accordance with the restrictions imposed. Cash reserves are held at a level which equates to at least six months unrestricted expenditure.
Risk Management
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems will provide sufficient resources in the advent of adverse conditions.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Cont'd)
Statement of trustee's responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
(a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
(b) observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
-
(c) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
(d) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
(e) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which 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 1993, the charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and provisions of the trust deed. 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.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 23rd September 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
OF THE CROSSLEY AND PORTER ORPHAN HOME AND SCHOOL
I report on the Accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2021, which are set out on pages 5-10.
Respective responsibility of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concering 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 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.
