THE SHUTTLEWOOD CLARKE FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] March 2024

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 2024 the Foundation had four trustees. 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 2024 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.

1

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.

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 in excess of 30,000, 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 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. Seven organisations have taken

2

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.

Ulverscroft Manor

There are two principal venues for indoor activities, the main house and the Activity Centre.

3

day. Volunteers make a significant contribution by assisting with the provision of refreshments. The following activities were available: seated yoga, relaxation, mindfulness (including by ‘Zoom’), chiropody and pilates (including by ‘Zoom’), book club (newly established). 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.

• Other Activities

During the year other activities included: a craft club, a design and create group, a young onset dementia social group and tai chi all taking place once a month; Nordic Walking, outdoor exercise, fun with art 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

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.

4

SCF Development

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.

5

Financial Review

• Unrestricted funds

There was a surplus on the unrestricted funds of £213,537.

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 10.52%. This evaluates to £448,832, represented by realised gains £4,606, market value increase £308,881 and income received £135,345 (the market value adjustment is made on the Endowment Funds column of the Statement of Financial Activities). The portfolio has a market value of £4,476,334 (2023 £4,266,789).

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 other principal sources of funding were donations £69,068 (2023 £54,844) and fundraising £105,021 (2023 £67,529). The shops component for the year to 31[st] March 2024 was £99,451 (2023 £59,948).

• Restricted Funds

The total received in the year was £2,352, total spending was £12,402 (including a transfer between funds of £2,244). Additional information can be found at Note 3 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

• Total Funds

The analysis of total funds can be found at Note 12 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

6

There were no capital commitments. (Note 14)

Shuttlewood Clarke Trading Ltd

As previously stated, this wholly owned trading subsidiary provides catering services within the Grange property, for which a monthly access fee is paid to the Foundation. Any remaining profits are gifted to the Foundation. There was a loss for the year of £5,121, 2023 (£26,775).

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:

• 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 The Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprises of the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows 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:

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 charity 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 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 trustees' annual report[2] , 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT (cont'd)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE SHUTTLEWOOD CLARKE FOUNDATION

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:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement [set out on page …], the trustees 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 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.

Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144[3] 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:

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-of-the-fi/description-ofthe-auditor%E2%80%99s-responsibilities-for.This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT (cont'd)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE SHUTTLEWOOD CLARKE FOUNDATION

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.

Use of our report

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. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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.

a) Basis of Accounting

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

The charity has taken advantage under the SORP and not prepared consolidated group accounts. The financial statements therefore refer to the parent undertaking only.

b) Donations and income

Donations are brought into account as and when they are received by the Foundation. Income subject to VAT is stated net.

c) Investment income and rental income

i) Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on an accruals basis. ii) Dividends are included in the income and expenditure account when they are received.

d) Expenditure

All expenditure on support costs and administration is included on an accruals basis and is allocated on a practical basis as the costs are incurred. Amounts are stated net of VAT.

e) Grants

Grants made by the Foundation are charged to the income and expenditure account when the payment becomes due.

f) Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets, being for the Charity’s own use, are stated at cost in accordance with provisions of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.

No depreciation is provided on freehold property as any charge would be immaterial. The property is maintained to ensure the value does not diminish over time and maintenance costs are charged to the income and expenditure account in the year incurred.

Depreciation has been provided to write off the cost of other tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives using the following rates:-

Assets Basis Motor Vehicles 25% per annum straight line Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment 5% - 20% per annum straight line
