TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2023
Structure, Governance and Management
Reference and administrative information can be found on the preceding page. The Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation was founded in 1989 by Mr David Clarke and its Trust Deed was signed on 15 May 1990. On the 31[st] March 2023 the Foundation had four trustees, one having been appointed on 15[th] March. The Foundation has the provision to extend the number of trustees to a maximum of eight. To this end the trustees are continuing to actively look to recruit new members with the appropriate interest in the Foundation and skill sets to enhance the current team. Potential trustees are given a comprehensive insight into all of the Foundation’s activities; the roles of the members of the management team are explained; financial matters including accounts are considered; attention is drawn to appropriate information on the Charity Commission website with a recommendation that it is read and understood.
Of the board members at 31[st] March, three were also volunteers in a variety of capacities; all are encouraged to take regular active interest in all aspects of the Foundation’s day to day activities.
The trustees meet and/or confer regularly when they review the activities, investments and policies of the Foundation.
The day to day running and management of the Foundation is delegated to the Principal Manager and the senior management team. Spending limits apply; remuneration for new key personnel is determined by the trustees; all salaries at the review date are determined by the trustees having regard to proposals submitted by the Principal Manager. The senior management team at 31[st] March 2023 was made up of the Principal Manager and Support Services Manager.
The Foundation owns the single issued share in Shuttlewood Clarke Trading Ltd. This company provides catering within the Grange premises.
Risk Management, Insurance and Safeguarding
The Principal Manager has responsibility for the Foundation’s risk assessments and induction policy packs.
These are reviewed as required throughout the year. The Foundation carries insurance cover that includes an indemnity policy covering the liability of the trustees to third parties. An annual meeting is held with the Foundation’s insurance broker to review all policies; the Principal Manager liaises with the broker as deemed necessary throughout the year.
The Foundation follows the Charity Commission guidelines for safeguarding. All personnel (staff, volunteers and service providers) are required to undergo training; occasional service providers are supervised by persons who themselves have been trained.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2023
Aims, Objectives and Activities
The core objectives of the Foundation as stated in the trust deed dated 15 May 1990 are: The funds are to be applied for such charitable purposes as the trustees shall from time to time determine (and in particular but without derogation to the generality of the foregoing the relief of need, hardship, suffering or distress in the case of elderly and young persons).
The provision and delivery of the activities that achieve these aims are considered on a regular basis. The Foundation continued to refer to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Impact of the covid pandemic
At the end pf the previous financial year the impact of the covid pandemic was still being felt. During the current year all but one of the Foundations activities have fully recovered, the exception being school visits.
How our activities deliver public benefit
The purpose of the wide range of activities provided is to enhance the lives of our beneficiaries through improved social interaction, recreation, advice, support and educational opportunities. The Foundation’s main activities, beneficiaries and aims are detailed as follows:
Achievements and Performance
Ulverscroft Grange Community Support and Wellbeing Centre
Open to the public at large, visitor numbers to the Grange Community Support and Wellbeing Centre were estimated to be 26000, variously using the tea rooms, browsing the charity shops, accessing the information hub, attending organised wellbeing and support sessions, visiting the model railway and using the pathways.

THE SHUTTLEWOOD CLARKE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2023
- Wellbeing Activities
The objectives of The Community Support and Wellbeing Centre are to provide a meeting place where both mental and physical wellbeing can be improved through social interaction, recreation, access to information and support including activities (more information is given in subsequent paragraphs). There is a network of paths extending to the Manor. This wonderful, unique environment provides repeated opportunities for people of all ages to benefit in numerous ways. Many visitors have made repeat visits and have used the introduction afforded by the Grange to benefit from the Foundation’s numerous other charitable services. Outcomes are assessed by having regard to visitor numbers and feedback; the trustees are satisfied with the results.
- Grow with us Community Allotment
The ‘Grow with Us’ gardening project links young people and adults with learning difficulties and/or physical disabilities with members of the wider community who have an interest in allotment style gardening; it operates throughout the year. Four organisations have taken part in the scheme during the year. Outcomes are assessed by having regard to take up and feedback; the trustees are satisfied with the results.
- Shops and catering
Opportunities are provided to those with learning difficulties to assist in the charity shops and tea room.
- Model Railway
The railway was inherited by the Foundation from its founder. It is maintained by a group of volunteer enthusiasts. The model has educational and therapeutic value. Prior to the covid pandemic, organised groups were able to visit on a monthly basis when the railway was operated to its fullest extent and a talk given; these sessions have not resumed. Visitors are, as previously, able to see the railway during normal opening times when there may be limited operation depending on volunteer availability.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2023
Ulverscroft Manor
There are two principal venues for indoor activities, the main house and the Activity Centre.
-
Visiting Groups
-
The objectives are to provide a pleasant day out, reduce social isolation, offer respite and give support to those who are living with a disability or illness or are elderly. A lunch is provided together with refreshments in the morning and afternoon. Those who are able can walk the grounds or have a trip in one of the golf buggies. Visiting groups are comprised of individuals brought together from the same area, with the partner or carer on a car day visit, or as a member of an organised support group, residential home or association. The number of people attending these pre-booked sessions, Monday – Wednesday was 2,331, an average of 16 per day. Attendees are invited to make a donation. Volunteers are essential for the carrying out of this activity, providing assistance in the kitchen, serving meals, clearing away and interacting socially with the visitors. Outcomes are assessed by having regard to take up, repeat visits and feedback; the trustees are satisfied with the results.
-
Information and Support Stand Through the information exchange project the Foundation seeks to establish good links with many other disability support groups. The importance of working with others or simply acting as a signpost is recognised.
-
Health and Wellbeing Support Thursdays Drop in sessions providing various activities are available at varying intervals through each month. Two ‘Zoom’ sessions instituted during the covid pandemic have continued, being an extension of two on site activities. The objectives are to offer a facility which allows people to visit as they choose, access those activities which they find valuable and to stay for as long as they wish leading to social interaction. Refreshments are available throughout the day. Volunteers make a significant contribution by assisting with the provision of refreshments. By the end of the year, the following activities were available: seated yoga, relaxation, mindfulness (including by ‘Zoom’), chiropody and pilates (including by ‘Zoom’). There have been the following support groups: MS, fibromyalgia, lipoedema, pulmonary fibrosis, young onset dementia. Outcomes are assessed by having regard to the number of participants, consistency of visits and feedback; the trustees are satisfied with the results.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2023
-
Mobility Aid Loan Scheme The scheme focuses on the loan of wheelchairs and some specific types of mobility aids to those in need. This is a specialised service with the correct placement of items relying on the knowledge of the Support Services Manager and advice of professionals. The activity is now modest.
-
Other Activities
-
During the year other activities included: a craft club, a design and create group, a young onset dementia bowling group and tai chi all taking place once a month; Nordic Walking and singing for fun and wellbeing taking place weekly; gentle yoga, coping with and recovering from anxiety and depression at varying intervals. Outcomes are assessed by having regard to the number of participants, consistency of visits and feedback; the trustees are satisfied with the results.
Outside Space
-
Yew Trail Outdoor Classroom The objectives of the outdoor classroom are to teach about, and enthuse children with natural things in a dynamic environment; to enable them to enjoy being outside. Activities are based on the National Curriculum. Volunteers are essential for the carrying out of this activity as they lead the groups of children and deliver the teaching; occasional help is provided by staff members. The pool of volunteers remains small. All visits are reviewed; written feedback is routinely sought from the schools but rarely received. Verbal feedback has always been good. The activity has not recovered from the impact of the covid pandemic. There were three school visits during the year.
-
Yurt
There was a modest amount of use during the year.
-
Pathways
-
The objectives of the pathways at both the Grange and the Manor are to enable visitors to enjoy the space and benefit from exercise. Those at the Manor have many information boards relating to the trees and folklore, and are an essential component for the school visits. The pathways at the Manor have for the most part been put in place by volunteers who also maintain them; they also maintain the Grange pathways. The Foundation’s electric buggies provide a very beneficial service to the Foundation’s less mobile visitors at both the Grange and Manor.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2023
- Forest School
An area of woodland has been made available to an independent Forest School business. This is considered to be a good way to enable children to benefit from outdoors activity.
SCF Development
- Volunteering Reference has been made to the essential contribution made by volunteers in some of the preceding paragraphs. By the end of the year there were 110 volunteers in various roles that included in-house (including the Activity Centre), gardening and maintenance tasks, working in the shops, buggy driving and assisting in the activity of the organisation’s trading company, Shuttlewood Clarke Trading Ltd. Volunteer opportunities include work experience for students, life skills for adults with disabilities and corporate team activities. The volunteer team contributed several thousand hours of voluntary work and its continued support is crucial to the success of the Foundation. In turn the Foundation invites volunteers to attend at least one social event each year; in addition volunteers benefit through friendships made and support received during their time with the organisation and beyond through the provision of a retired volunteer club that meets once a month. Opportunities for life skills volunteering placements have continued to be developed; seven organisations participated during the year.
• Fundraising The Foundation runs three charity shops based at Ulverscroft Grange. There is an additional sales table based at Ulverscroft Manor. The gross income for the year was £64,474 (2022 £40,406) . The shops component, being the Foundation’s principal fundraising activity was £59,948 (2022 £38,842) . Operations are conducted mainly by volunteers with some staff oversight; a part time manager was appointed in December. Sundry fund raising activities produced £3,055 (2022 £2,372).
-
Promotion The Foundation’s staff team has continued to promote the comprehensive work of the Foundation.
-
Working with others The Foundation recognises the value of working with others and will continue to seek opportunities for doing so.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2023
- Future Plans
At the Manor, the arrangements for visiting groups will continue as previously described. The Activity Centre provides us with an excellent space giving the potential to introduce new services and improve the existing ones.
Financial Review
- Unrestricted funds
There was a deficit on the unrestricted funds of £199,089.
Investment income and gains, or total return, are vital to the ability of the Foundation to operate. For the year under review the target return was 5.5%; the actual return was 0.14% This evaluates to £6,434, represented by realised gains £25,534, market value decrease £155,996 and income received £136,896 (the market value adjustment is made on the Endowment Funds column of the Statement of Financial Activities). The portfolio has a market value of £4,266,789 (2022 £4,522,582).
The greatest risk to the Foundation is a long term downturn in investment performance; ultimately restructuring would be necessary. Performance is monitored monthly, comprehensive reports being provided by W.H Ireland Investment Managers. The Foundation’s policy on reserves aims to maintain the value of the total fund in line with or above inflation and as the economic situation allows, to further increase these funds in order to finance the development of the Foundation’s work. The investment portfolio provides the bulk of the income. The Foundation’s two country houses and grounds remain an essential component of future plans and current activities. It remains imperative that these properties, machinery and all internal and external fixtures and fittings are maintained to a high standard and comply with all relevant legislation to ensure the Foundation’s long-term future. For this reason long term growth of the total fund is necessary.
The following ethical investment policy is operated:
All of the Foundation’s investments are covered by its ethical investment policy which states that the Trustees seek to avoid investment in undertakings whose activities are evidently against the public well-being or are such that investment in them would be likely to lower the reputation of the Foundation with the public at large. The Trustees recognise that some undertakings (e.g. banks and insurance companies) have a substantial spread of investments, information about which cannot be obtained. The Trustees will not refrain from investing in such undertakings simply because of a lack of knowledge of their investments.

THE SHUTTLEWOOD CLARKE FOUNDATION
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 year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 AUDITORS REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE SHUTTLEWOOD CLARKE FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including 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). In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2023, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 opinion
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 auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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 charitable company'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.
12
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE SHUTTLEWOOD CLARKE FOUNDATION
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees' annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
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
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
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 set out on page 11, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
13
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE SHUTTLEWOOD CLARKE FOUNDATION
Auditor 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 auditor’s 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:
-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
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.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the FRC's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit-assurance/auditor-s-responsibilities-for-the-audit-ofthe-fi/description-of-the-auditor%E2%80%99s-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1. Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same financial statements.
