Structure, governance and management ## Governing document Trust deed dated 21° June 1994. Recruitment and induction of trustees Suitable candidates are selected by the existing trustees are invited to become trustees. New trustees are inducted into the working of the charity. ## Organisation of the charity The trustees are legally responsible for the control and management of the charity. ## Objects and aims of the charity The charity has general charitable objects but primarily supports projects that are either very close to hame, mainly in mid Cornwall where these tend to be of a cultural nature or in the developing world concentrating on the relief of poverty by the support of small scale community projects. ## Review of development and activities and achievements The charity continued its long-standing practice of making relatively small-scale grants to a range of charities and other organisations in Cornwall, across the UK and across the world. The charity continues to be involved in regeneration activities in the centre of Redruth, working closely with bodies such as the Murdoch House committee, Redruth Revival CIC, Redruth Town Council and the Chamber of Commerce. Murdoch House itself is the centre of a network of small organisations concerned with such issues as local people's history, conservation of local architectural heritage and community-led projects. It is hoped to be able to raise further funds to build on this work. During 2018 a loan of £60,000 was provided to Redruth Revival CIC as part of a project to purchase the freehold to the Buttermarket and Mining Exchange in Redruth as Part of its community work and retail space as part of a wider regeneration scheme. A further £80,600 was loaned in the year to 31°* March 2021 to assist with the purchase of the Wheal Peevor Purser’s Office as part of the regeneration scheme. Both loans are secured against the property. In addition funds are from time to time loaned to local charities and similar organisations to assist with short-term cash-flow — there are generally repaid within a few months. The charity received a donation of £300,000 in the year from Percy Williams & Sons Ltd which has been its main source of funds in the past: this is probably the final donation from them as the company is closing down. Review of financial activities The net income for the year was £290,306 (2024: net income of £36,300). As at 315t March 2025 the total funds held {including loans provided) were £704,325 (2024: £414,019). ## Reserves policy A significant portion of the charity's reserves is represented by the historic property, Murdoch House. Surplus cash funds are available to the trustees to make charitable loans and grants as necessary. 2 ## The Percy and Lily Reed Williams Charitable Trust ## Trustees’ report For the year ended 31% March 2025 ## Risk management The trustees have assessed the risks to which the charity is exposed and have established systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified. ## Plans for the future The trustees intend to continue operating the charity in accordance with its stated objects. ## Trustees’ responsibilities The trustees recognise their responsibilities for keeping proper accounting records and preparing financial Statements each year.
