TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 May 2024 to 30 April 2025.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The Charity's purpose is to support the development of young people in Norwich and Norfolk, to actively promote the Christian faith and to undertake other charitable activities such as the provision of facilities for use by organisations.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
In furthering the activities of the Charity the Trustees have been planning and carrying out refurbishment of its properties for better use to be made of them by the other charities that it supports and have made monetary gifts and donations as shown in note 6.
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
During the year, the Charity has continued to provide C21 as a base for worship. The Charity has also made monetary donations in support of a number of other organisations and individuals engaged in Christian and youth based work.
b. Investment policy and performance
Surplus funds are generally placed in interest bearing deposit accounts until required. This policy was widened in previous years to diversify a proportion of funds away from banks into secure freehold property purchases.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
b. Reserves policy
Total incoming resources during the year amounted to £1,224,158 (2024: £876,660) and total resources expended was £846,130 (2024: £1,075,967). The total funds carried forward at the end of the year were £16,578,766 (2024: £15,056, 738).
The Trustees seek to ensure that sufficient funds are available before making any expenditure commitment. The administrative costs of running the Charity continue to be relatively small as few office overheads are incurred. It is the intention of the Trustees that funds equivalent to costs for one year are available. It is expected that the current high level of reserves will be used over the coming years to further the aims and objectives of the Charity.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Graham Dacre Charitable Foundation is a registered charity, number 803174, and is constituted under a Trust deed.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
New Trustees are selected from responsible individuals who are in sympathy with the aims of the Charity, who will bring expertise towards achieving its objects and who will contribute to the governance and management of the Charity.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The Trustees meet together regularly during the year and, other than decisions of a more nominal nature, all decisions are made jointly by the Trustees after collective discussion, careful consideration and professional input. As well as the qualifications and experience held by the Trustees, they are advised by qualified professionals in fields including finance and property.
d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
Induction and training is carried out to make new Trustees aware of the requirements of the role and of the needs of the Charity.
e. Related party relationships
Details of transactions with related parties are given in note 23.
f. Financial risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

SS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRAHAM DACRE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
Qualified opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Graham Dacre Charitable Foundation (the 'Charity’) for the year ended 30 April 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:
-
e give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 qualified opinion
We were unable to obtain sufficient, appropriate audit evidence to support the Trustees' valuation of freehold property held in fixed assets at £329,000.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 annual report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
e 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 e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or e 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, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.

THE GRAHAM DACRE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRAHAM DACRE CHARITABLE
FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)
Auditors’ 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 material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the Charity.
Our approach was as follows:
-
. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Charity and considered that the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
-
° We obtained an understanding of how the Charity complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
° We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
. We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of noncompliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
° Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
Because 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 non-compliance 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Graham Dacre Charitable Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Going concern
The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity will have adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Trustees therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the basis that the Charity will continue as a going concern.
- 1.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Rental income is accounted for on a receivable basis in accordance with the terms of the lease.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
1.5 Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charity for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
Freehold property - 2% straight line Motor vehicles - 20% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line
1.7 Investment property
Investment property is included at fair value. Gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.8 Stocks
Stocks, being property held for resale, are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
1.9 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.10 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.11 Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Page 14
THE GRAHAM DACRE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.12 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Financial assets — trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash at bank is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities — trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments and are measured at amortised cost. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
1.13 Fund accounting
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.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

1: Accounting policies (continued)
2. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
i) The Charity holds a significant asset base and any variation in the useful economic lives of the asset base will have an impact on both the balance sheet and the in-year financial position.
ii) A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
iii) The value of receiving rent free premises is based on estimates made by Trustees based on their knowledge of market rents.
iv) The Trustees use valuation techniques involving judgement and estimation to determine the fair value of the Charity’s investment properties at each reporting date. Estimates of fair values between independent revaluations are based on a combination of current market conditions, changes in tenure arrangements and guidance from external sources. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in a fully arm’s length commercial sale transaction at the reporting date.

Drayton Hall, Drayton, Norwich
Acquired by the Trust in March 1991, this former maternity home was extended and remodelled between 1992 and 1996. Since then, the premises had been used by charitable trusts, Christian organisations and a number of churches.
