THE WILLIAM HEATHER WILL TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Trust's objectives have been, by means of financial grants, to relieve sickness, with each application being considered individually, in the following geographical areas:-
The Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Margaret, Fernhurst, West Sussex;
The Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Paul, Camelsdale with Lynchmere, West Sussex, both parishes being served by the Haslemere Health Centre, Surrey.
Hayling Island, Hampshire.
Midhurst and Easebourne, West Sussex.- as agreed with the Charity Commission in 2018.
Significant activities
The William Heather Will Trust (WHWT) is governed for the purpose of assisting residents of these areas who are in need and/or are vulnerable through physical or mental ill health, disability etc. This is by providing funds towards treatment or equipment likely to assist suffering and/or to assist in the recovery of such persons locally, where income or capital sums are not readily available from other sources.
The Trustees have, through the pandemic, continued to attempt to raise the profile of the Trust and to encourage applications, usually through GPs and other health professionals-aiming to utilise as much of each year's income as possible for the benefit of the community in general.
We have of course been aware of the pressures experienced in our local practices because of Covid-19, so a low level of response has been understandable.
With our increasing awareness of mental health problems in young people, approaches have been made to several local schools, all no doubt with pupils who have mental health issues of varying severity. This has become particularly important as a result of the pandemic. With her wealth of experience in the field of education, Trustee Mrs Sandra Evans introduced a bespoke letter to school Heads to inform them of the Trust's existence.
Public benefit
Whilst considering what activities the Trust should undertake, the Trustees continue to pay due regard to guidelines issued by the Charity Commission.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
With our financial assistance, the Family Support Worker at the Primary Schools of Fernhurst and Camelsdale has continued in her important work with pupils and their families at both schools through this harrowing year.
In addition to her usual workload, funding was provided for her to work with another child at Camelsdale who needed urgent support. The Trustees also agreed to fund a course of 'equine therapy' for a pupil for whom this approach seemed the best way to help him.
The Trustees have continued to support the Nurture Unit at Easebourne Primary School, in its vital work in supporting particularly vulnerable children with a variety of mental health and psychosocial problems.
We have also been impressed with the ongoing work of the counsellor at Midhurst Rother College, and all agreed on the importance of continuing with our support, particularly in these difficult times. Thanks to our continuing financial support, a specialist nurse has completed a successful course of counselling with a Camelsdale resident with psychological problems related to alcohol misuse.
The Trustees agreed to provide a grant to Mill Rythe Primary School, Hayling Island for a pupil with mental health issues to attend a 'Sustainability Centre', and were pleased to hear that this has helped him significantly.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Trust continues to be in a healthy financial position, and the Trustees have noted that the returns from their investments with BNY Mellon, CCLA and Investec during the pandemic have continued to be satisfactory.
It is anticipated that Mr Gil Lilywhite of Investec will again be able to attend a Trustees' meeting in 2021, following anticipated lifting of current restrictions re meetings etc.
A continuing source of income for the Trust is the rent from two freehold properties in Haslemere, Surrey, occupied for many years by Stricklands dental practice. As before, 25% of this rental income is paid to the 'Fernhurst Fund', ie the 'Fernhurst Vicar and Churchwardens Benevolent Fund 1988'.
Flude Commercial continue to manage insurance, rent collection and distribution on behalf of the Trust.
The Trustees remain committed to allocating grants to assist in the communities listed above, all after careful consideration.
With regard to donations received under Gift Aids or Deeds of Covenant, recoverable income tax is recognised at the time of donation.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to 18 months expenditure. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
FUTURE PLANS
We anticipate an increasing number of applications for grants 'for the relief of sickness' as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and have taken steps to ensure that local GPs and other health personnel know that we are keen to assist in appropriate situations.
We expect more applications from schools, related to the pandemic and the resulting stress that this has caused numerous children and their families.
Acknowledgements
Mrs Richardson attended her first Trustees' meeting in September 2020 and kindly agreed to embark on taking the Minutes from the first meeting in 2021, in succession to Mr Walter Mitchell. Thanks are due to her and to Mrs Jenny Moncreiff for her continuing work as Secretary to the Trust during this extremely difficult year.
All Trustees work for the Trust voluntarily and we are extremely grateful to them all for their continuing enthusiasm and input.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The Trust was established on 3rd February 1998 and the governing document is the Charity Commission scheme dated 17th November, 1997.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
New trustees are appointed with the full agreement of the board to use their skills and experience as directed. New trustees are directed to the Charity Commission web site and specifically to the introductory guide "Charity Trustee: what's involved" (CC3a) and the detailed guidance "The essential Trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do" (CC3).
Organisational structure
The Trustees usually meet at regular intervals through each year. However, this was not possible this year on account of the Covid-19 pandemic, a delayed meeting finally taking place on 20th September 2020. However, communication between all Trustees by telephone and by email continued satisfactorily.

Risk management
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Having assessed the major risks to which the Trust may be exposed, they are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to such risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Incoming resources
All income and endowments are accounted for without deduction for any costs of receivability, are recognised when there is evidence of entitlement, receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured reliably. Voluntary Income
Donations are recognised when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies are recognised when the formal offer in writing of the funding is received.
Income from Charitable Activities
Income is recognised when the money is received. Income from Investments Dividends are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.
All other income
All other income is recognised in the period to which it relates. Income received in advance is deferred to the period to which it relates. Gains and losses on investments
Realised gains are recognised when the investments are sold. Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation on 31 December.
Resources used
Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis and are accounted for gross.
The management and activities of the charity are carried out by volunteers. This income and cost is not included in the financial statements as this voluntary contribution to the work of the charity is incalculable.
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded where the award creates a binding obligation on the charity.
Investment property
Investment properties held for investment are included in the balance sheet at their fair value, the changes in which are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. Any revaluation surplus from the property is included as a revaluation reserve within the General Fund.
Investments
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date and the Statement of Financial Activities shows investment gains and losses arising from revaluation of the investment portfolio and disposals during the period.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Any revaluation surplus from the property is included as a revaluation reserve within the General Fund. At this time the revaluation reserve amounts to £347,250.
