ANNUAL REVIEW AND REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2023
Governing instrument
The Charity was set up by means of a Trust Deed dated 19 August 1997. On 16 September 1997 th¢ Charity
obtained charitable status under the Charities A¢1 1993, and it is r¢gislered as a charity under number 1064406. The
Trustees have absolute discretion as to the investment policy of the Charity under the tern)s of the Trust Deed.
Summary
During the year, 26 charities received grants. The amounts dispersed to applicants represented 57Yo (2022
134010) of the Trust's income. The Trustee5 consider there is still Sufficient resilience in the Trust's finances to
sustain the distributions of grants to charitable causes. The Trust has continued to promote its working identity
as Middlesex Masonic Charity (MMC) Plnd io continue look for ways to make itself more accessible to
applicants.
Brief Deseriptioll of the MMC and its Objectives
The MMC exists lo promole and support charitable giving to organisations primarily operating within the
Provit]ce of Middlesex usually at the request of members of the Province.
The objects of the MMC are wide r￿chIng as described by the temis of the original Trust Deed.
- Ihe furtherance and promolion of such exclusively choritable obJeels and purposes a8 the
Trustees may in thefir absolute dlscretlon think fit and in partieular (but withovt restriction)
the relief of need? poverty and distress and the advancement of edueation of Freema8ons and
their familie5....
The Trustees expect that. in the main, the funds of the MMC will be used to support objects of Provincial
Charity, be they non-Masoni¢ ¢harities operating in the former County of Middlesex are8 or ¢h&rities
enjoying special ¢onne¢tions with Middlesex Freemasonry. Jt is expected that charities applying for grants
will be regislered with The Charity Commission although each case will be considered on its merits.
Publ1¢ Benefit
During the year IOO•/o of grants (2022 - 1000/ty) were made to non_masonic charities and in the Trustee's
view the wide diversity of these grants indicates to them they have complied with the requirements of the
Charities Act 201 I to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission.
Applleatton Pro¢es8
Lt is expe¢l¢d that Charities needing assistance will be supported by Lodges, Chapters or individuals bul
they may apply directly. An application forn) is available from the Correspondent Trustee. Rajesh l D¢sai.
and completed applications should be returned to him. The MMC will also accept applications made on the
Universal Application Form, available from the Provincial website.
All submissions must be made by completing the necessary application form and providing additional
information, including two year's audited financial statements, sUPPOrting quolalion5 or invoices for proposed
expenditure and relevant literature needed to enable the Trustees to reach a decision.
MMC will also consider applications for 8SSiStance from Freemasons in distress or their families or dependants.
However, these petitions should be submitled in the first instance to the Provincial Grand Almoner who will report
wilh recommendations directly to the Trustees.

uninterrupted running of the Trust for at least one year at the ¢urrent level of activity, should the income level fall or
un¢xpected costs arise.

Statement ofTrustees' R¢sponslbllltl¢$
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual R¢port and the fjnancial statements in accordance with
applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each
financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom
Accounting Standards and applicable law). The Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless Ih¢y are
satisfied that they give a true and fair view of ihe state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and
application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements. th¢ Truste¢s are required to..
a) s¢l¢¢l suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
b) obs¢rv¢ the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
c) make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonabl¢ and prndent.
d) stale whether applicable UK Accounting Standards hav¢ been followed. subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial slalements. and
e) prepare the financial statements onthe goingconcern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity
will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy al any
time th¢ financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements ¢omply with the
Charities Act 2011, The Charities {A¢¢ounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provistons 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.
Flnoncial Statemellts
Since the previous year, the world's stock markets have continued to face signific￿t ¢conomic events throughout the
world. The year-on-year comparison in portfolio values reveals a decrease of £23,787 to £1,975,598, a loss of1.190h.
Income from investrnent5 reduc￿ by £2,976 to £84,719, a fall of 3.390/0.
The Trustees take the Investment Mw)agers advice to continue their policy of diversification into Funds and Trusts
from individual stocks.
The distribution of all the income wa5 in accordance with the Trust Deed requirements with granls of £49.150 being
made against the combined income of £85,577. all the grants being for non-Ma50nic charities.
The level of reserves at the year-end was £2,027,484 (2022: £2,019,853).
A summary of the mov¢ment in th¢ inv¢stmenl portfolio appears in Not¢ 2 to these financial statements and a summary

The Trustees have ¢oncluded that Ihe charity has sufficient reserves lo continue.
