Clubs & Societies

In order to simplify the Fund’s accounting, in 2012 the Trustees decided that the Fund should adopt receipts and payments accounting (rather than accruals accounting). This greatly simplifies the process of producing accounts and reduces the responsibilities of the independent examiner. It is entirely in keeping with the requirements of charities law and of the Fund’s trust deed. Of the year-end funds (which excludes loans advanced to beneficiaries) investments at market value accounted for £96,398 (2012: £82,102) and cash and deposits accounted for £25,275 (2012: £35,911). Donations and Legacies Notwithstanding the Fund’s robust financial position, donations are very welcome. Donations can be made under Gift Aid, which enables the Fund to reclaim

basic rate tax on sums received from UK tax payers, and provides a tax benefit to higher rate tax payers. Furthermore, by virtue of the Fund’s charitable status, legacies are free of inheritance tax. Gifts and legacies would be very gratefully received by the Hon Treasurer, Nick Rundle, at 9 Draycott Place, London SW3 2SE. Applications Enquiries from OAs about possible assistance should be addressed to the Hon Secretary Marcus Graham, at 59 Falcon Point, London SE1 9JB or marcus_graham @ hotmail.com. Enquiries from pupils at the College should be addressed directly to him or through Messrs Llewelyn and/or Woudhuysen.
