TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
a. Objectives and aims
To advance the education of young people in the district of Epping Forest and in particular the areas of High,
Magdalen and Little Laver, Moreton, Bobbingworth and Matching Green in the County of Essex, and also the
London Boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets.
b. Significant activites
Trustees
During the year Mrs Tina Webb was unable to continue as a trustee and resigned in June 2023. Mr. John Collis who had served the Trust for many years retired as a trustee in February 2023. Lisa Ramsey was also unable to continue as a trustee and resigned in March 2023. Paul Bard who had worked very hard for the Trust as Secretary and Treasurer retired in August 2023. Louise Scantlebury took over the position of Secretary and Treasurer. Three new trustees were appointed during the year. Nigel Cobby, Robert Padfield and Michael Pether were appointed as new trustees. During the year the Trust met three times in person.
Significant Activities
The Trust does not fund raise and mainly relies on its income and gains from its investments to fund applications from students and educational bodies. After lengthy discussions at the meetings it was decided to move the Trust’s investments back to the M&G Investments (Charifund) from Castle Wealth and this was completed in August 2024. Various external factors in world and domestic politics had had quite adverse effects on the trust’s investments and a decision was made by the Trustees to draw down funds to cover grant applications when the investments were switched from Castle Wealth Ltd to M&G Investments. The amount invested with M&G Investments was £668,000.00.
In total grants of £36,750 were made. These were split between the two areas of benefits as follows. To the area of High, Magdalen and Little Laver , Moreton, Bobbingworth and Matching Green a total of £15,000 was made and to the area of the London Boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets a total of £21,750. Further details are given in the financial statements.

a. Investments review
Since transferring the Trust’s investments to M&G in August it has received £13,487.55 in dividend income and will receive further amounts next year. At the end of the year the market value of investments stood at £691,232.32. In addition the Trust held £27,580.20 in cash funds.
b. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries , the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company 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.
Structure, governance and management
a. Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company,
limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Accounting policies
|
|
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 Companies Act 2006.
The Derek Shuttleworth Educational Trust 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.
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
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 is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company'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.
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.
