The Forest Hill Charitable Trust
Trustees’ Report
For the year ended 5th April 2025
Ethos, Aims and Objectives for the public benefit:
As the Trust is a Christian trust the majority of our support is directed towards Christian organisations; however, a good number of secular ones also benefit from regular grants.
The objectives of the Trust are to provide regular financial help to recognised (and so far accredited) charitable organisations engaged in:
-
e Bringing help, retief, guidance, advice and sustained support to the physically, mentally and emotionally disabled.
-
e Providing general help and support in the deprived areas of the world, in terms of medical services, food. clean water, education, better crops, development of local industries, third world technology etc
-
e Providing emergency relief in war or disaster zones. e« Improving the quality of life and prospects of children in the UK and worldwide. e Rehabilitating Residential Centres for victims of drug addiction « Running courses of 'drug awareness’ for young people e Providing support and respite for Carers’ e Supporting, counselling and providing medical help in the UK for victims of torture. e Supporting Christian victims of persecution in certain parts of the world. « Providing free medical, surgical and dentat services in areas of the world where such facilities are inadequate or do not exist
-
e Funding research and treatment of certain medical conditions including Aids/HIV. e Helping people to manage and clear their debt problem. e Supporting Farming and Fishing communities in the South West e Supporting victims of trafficking and modern slavery.
We confirm that we keep in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when deciding the organisations that should benefit from our grants.
Monitoring of Achievements:
What is being achieved is found in the hundreds of letters of acknowledgement received from the Organisations we support, together with reports of their activities published regularly in their magazines, pamphlets and brochures. Over the years, only a handful have lost our support.
Structure, Governance & Management:
The Trust was constituted under a Deed of Trust dated 6" November 1995. It was established initially through a gift made by Dr. H.F. Pile. In the following months, both Dr H.F. Pile and Mrs. P.J. Pile made further gifts. Very substantial donations were made in December 2001 and, in March 2004, by Mrs. P.J. Pile at the death of her mother.
The Trust does not actively fund raise but relies on income generated from a broad range of investments. These were originally established by Messrs. Calkin Pattinson and more recently, managed by James Hambro & Partners, 45 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5JG. We are grateful to Mr. lan Calkin and later to Mr. Charles Calkin for their help and advice. The Chairman and the Secretary are in regular contact with Mr. Charles Calkin.
The Trust Deeds provide for a minimum of 3 Trustees. The power of appointment was vested in Mrs. P.J. Pile for her lifetime. Following her death in June 2023, power of appointment is now invested in Ronald Pile. Trustees are family members devoted to the cause. Expertise or special skills are not particularly required in our type of organisation.
At the annual meetings, the Trustees review the current financiai situation, together with the broad strategy. The dayto-day administration of grants and the handling of applications are now delegated to Mr M Thomas and Mrs MS Tapper.
As Trustees we regularly examine the aims and objectives of each of the 66 organisations we support as well as the latest reports on their various activities. We are generally encouraged by what is being achieved and therefore plan to continue with the present policy.

Trustees’ Report For the year ended 5th April 2025
Structure, Governance & Management (continued):
tn July 2017 the JH&P Discretionary Management Team took over the management of the Trust Funds. This team consists of Ms Nicola Barber (Head of Charities) and Charles Calkin (Financial Planning Consultant).
Specific Investment Powers and Policy:
To invest the Trust fund in the purchase of, or interest on the security of such stocks, shares, securities or other investments or property of whatever nature and wherever situated, as the Trustees in their absolute discretion think fit, to the intent that the Trustees shall have the same full and unrestricted powers of investing and transposing investments as if they were beneficially entitled to the Trust fund.
To permit any investments comprised in the Trust fund to be held in the name of any clearing bank, any Trust corporation or any stockbroking company which is a member of the Stock Exchange (or any subsidiary of such a stockbroking company) as nominee of the Trustees and to pay any such nominee reasonable and proper remuneration for acting as such.
Investment Performance:
On the advice of our financial advisers our investments are wide ranging and over the years, the income has remained fairly constant in spite of the volatility of the stock market. We are satisfied that in the context of the current financial situation our investments have remained sound although we are open to any suggestion for change we may hear from our advisors. We aim as far as possible, to give away the whole of the yearly income and grants are adjusted in keeping with the income available.
Achievements and Performance:
During the period the Trustees have continued their policy of making regular and consistent donations to approximately 104 Charities on a monthly basis. The aim is to donate the majority of the monthly income received from the widely based portfolio. The Trustees are kept informed on the activities of the Charities concerned through their regular reports. The average donations are £1,360.
Financial Review :
The total donations paid out by the Charity in the year were £141,000. investment income of £42,760 was received.
The closing value of Investments have decreased this year by £158,503 (2024: fall of £36,083) with a reduction in the market value of the closing shareholding of £140,388 when compared with those held at the end of the previous year. Before taking into account the net loss on revaluation of investment assets there was a surplus of £2,115 (2024: £184,443 deficit)
Net assets have fallen by £138,273 (2024: £123,772 decrease) as the value of the grants paid out exceeds the income received through investments and gains on the disposal of investments again this year.
The Trustees’ aim is to maximise investment income in order to enable significant charitable donations to be made
Future Developments:
The Trustees do not anticipate any change to the Charity's objectives in the foreseeable future and will continue to make charitable donations solely out of its income whilst maintaining the underlying value of its investments.

Trustees’ Report For the year ended 5th Apri! 2025
Reserves Policy:
The Trustees have set the minimum level of reserves at £3,000,000. This level is considered important to maintain the Trust's ability to make grants out of income in future years.
At the 5th April 2025 the Charity's reserves were £3,202,113 (2024: £3.340,386)
Trustees Responsibilities:
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and accounting standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concem basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will remain in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial position of the statements comply with the regulations under $145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011, Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS102, both made under Part VI. They are also responsible for safeguarding the Charity's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The Trustees confirm that the financial statements comply with the statutory requirements, the governing document and the SORP.
Volunteers
The Charity is reliant upon the Trustees, who give their time free of charge The Trustees carry out the day to day running of the Charity and without their support the Charity would be unable to operate.
Risk Mitigation
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, continue to be reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
The Trustees consider the variability of investment returns to constitute the Charity's major financial risk and recent extreme volatility in world stock markets has demonstrated this risk. Through the use of a Financial Advisor and a varied portfolio the Trustees consider the risk to be reduced

Trustees’ Report For the year ended Sth April 2025
Grant Making Policy
On the formation of the Charity the Trustees decided that they wanted to support as broad a base of Registered Charities as is manageable. These were split into monthly lists and a regular yearly donation to each cause was established. The Charities that were chosen represented those that the Trustees felt were particularly worthy. The Trustees make general grants to the Charities rather than grants for specific projects. Charities send the Trustees regular reports and newsletters in order to keep the Trustees fully appraised of their on-going work. Generally speaking, the Trust has been unable to accept new requests for some time. However, the Trustees will be meeting before the end of 2025, specifically to review ail charities currently supported to determine whether the Trust should continue with their current list. (The charities have been/will be advised of this review, and invited to let the Trust know how their donations are making a difference to those the charities support). If it is felt any should be removed from the current list, they will be replaced by a new charity from an ‘approved! waiting list.
The Charity’s financial statements comply with the current statutory requirements, the Charity's governing documents, and the SORP FRS102 with Update Bulletin 1 and Update Bulletin 2

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of The Forest Hill Charitable Trust For the year ended 5th April 2025
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,
-
- — to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: * to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and * to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 5th April 2025
- (e) Fixed asset investments investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Trust does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
-

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and the opening market value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the end and the opening market value (or purchase date if later). Realised and unrealised gains are not separated in the Statement of Financial Activities.
-
