Trustees' report

For the year ended 31 July 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The objective of the trust is to assist young persons under the age of 25 who are residents in the Canterbury area by:

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, and in particular, the specific guidance to charities for the advancement of education.

The Declaration of Trust requires the trustees to apply the income of the trust (after paying costs of management and administration) in meeting the above objectives. Any surplus income not so required shall be accumulated and added to the capital of the trust fund.

Such accumulations may be applied in a later year as though they had been income of that year.

The trustees also have power to pay part or the whole of the capital for the above mentioned objective.

In furtherance of the above requirements the Committee invite applications from young people who might fall within the above definitions, and consider these on their merits.

Their policy is to assist with educational costs where parents suffer from financial hardship, and to provide financial help at a lower level for young people who are involved in worthwhile activities between school and university, or for young people in apprenticeships, in articles, undergoing youth training and the like.

At present the trustees do not intend to apply more than the net income in meeting the objectives, with the intention of preserving the capital to ensure that the objectives can continue to be met in perpetuity.

There are no restrictions on any part of the fund, which is accordingly an unrestricted fund.

There have been no changes in these policies.

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

The committee has continued the operation of the charity on the lines established in previous periods. A total of £44,868 was paid out in grants. Help was provided towards educational fees for 5 young people, as well as grants paid towards local music tuition, travel costs and a grant paid towards teaching enablement funding.

b. Investment policy and performance

The Charity's funds are invested in a range of investments with the aim of minimising financial risk whilst at the same time achieving a desired rate of return. Investment performance is reviewed regularly by the Trustees. This has been achieved through investment via professionally managed funds.

Trustees' report (continued) For the year ended 31 July 2024

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. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

Funds available are sufficient to permit the Trust to cover its present commitments. The current level of reserves are held in order to ensure that the objectives of the Charity can be met in perpetuity. The value of the Charity’s reserves varies directly with the value of the investment held to fund the Charity’s objectives. The balance held as unrestricted funds at 31 July 2024 was £1,467,790 (2023: £1,382,045) which is regarded as free reserves.

c. Investments policy

Investment powers

There are no restrictions, the Declaration of Trust provides the trustees with the widest powers of investing, disposing of and dealing with the Trust Fund which are lawfully capable of being conferred on trustees.

Other

There are no other specific restrictions.

d. Principal funding

The Trust is reliant on its investment income to ensure it can maintain the current level of grants made without need to reduce the level of capital retained by the Trust. The charity does not undertake any fundraising activity.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Wallace Wilson-Haffenden Fund was established by Mrs Trudi Wilson-Haffenden by a declaration of Trust dated 22 March 1990, with a registered charity number 803272.

The trust was established by Mrs Trudi Wilson-Haffenden in order to provide a a permanent memorial to the life and work for her late husband Wallace Wilson-Haffenden who died on 10 August 1986.

The initial trust fund was the sum of £300,000 gifted by the settlor.

£250,000 was received as a legacy from the estate of Mrs Trudi Wilson-Haffenden during the year ended 31 July 2019.

The statutory power of appointing new trustees lies in the hands of the existing trustees.

Structure, governance and management (continued)

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.

Clause 5 of the Declaration of Trust requires the trustees within one year to appoint a Committee of not less than three and not more than six people to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the trust and to receive and distribute the income. No person shall be entitled to act as a member of the Committee until they have signed a declaration of acceptance of office.

c. 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.

Plans for future periods

The Trustees hope to continue making grants at a similar level to young people in the local area.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

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).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the 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.

Independent examiner's report

For the year ended 31 July 2024

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Wallace Wilson-Haffenden Memorial Fund ('the Charity')

I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 July 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) 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.

I understand that 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.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2024

1. General information

The Wallace Wilson-Haffenden Memorial Fund is an unincorporated Charity based in England and Wales, registration number 803272. The address of the charity is High Chimney Farm Office, Stelling Minnis, Canterbury, Kent, CT4 6BA.

The financial statements are presented in pound Sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Wallace Wilson-Haffenden Memorial Fund 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.

2.2 Going concern

The Trustees have considered the Charity's level of reserves and future incoming resources and concluded that these are sufficient to enable the Charity to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. Therefore the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

2.3 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.

2.4 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.

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.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2024

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.5 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.6 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.

2.7 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.

2.8 Liabilities and provisions

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.

2.9 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.10 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.
