THE JEWELL BEQUEST CHARITABLE TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st August 2021. 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 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The object of the charity is to provide for the benefit of pupils in Chailey Heritage School, including their educational and health needs.
There have been no major changes in these policies in the current year.
At present there is no dependence on volunteers, or other donations in kind.
Public benefit
From 1 April 2008 section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 requires all charities to meet the legal requirement that it aims are for the public benefit. The Charity Commission in its 'Charities and Public Benefit' guidance states that there are two key principles to be met in order to show that an organisation's aims are for the public benefit: firstly there must be an identifiable benefit and secondly the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity. The Trustees are satisfied that the aims and objectives of the charity, and the activities reported on above to achieve those aims, meet these principles.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Jewell Bequest Charitable Trust mainly supports the cost associated with employing a part-time Family Liaison Worker. She provides support to parents and carers of children at Chailey Heritage School, particularly when they first arrive at school and during times of transition between departments. The support from a professional who is not directly involved in a child's care is very much appreciated and valued by the parents/carers. She assists with understanding reports/forms and in communicating parents'/carers' views at reviews or meetings. Helping prepare for and attending meetings with parents/carers such as health reviews, annual reviews and multi-disciplinary reviews is a major part of this role.
During the year, the Family Liaison Worker organised a number of virtual sessions for parents/carers, including sessions on transition, Makaton training, parents' experiences of applying for Deputyship without legal support and a number of sessions delivered by Renaissance Legal on Wills & Trusts and Capacity & Decision Making.
The high-tech, computerised communication equipment Library has proved a great success and has allowed many young people to trial equipment to determine the best device for them before making expensive purchases for an individual. It is an important resource for the therapists and clinical engineers, in particular the Speech and Language therapists and Speech and Language Therapy Assistants.
Covid-19
Supporting prospective pupils' families has increased again after a period of reduced inactivity due to Covid-19. The Family Liaison Worker has been involved in several remote informal visits of prospective pupils and follow-up on-site visits.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Investment performance
At year end, the portfolio was valued at £1,348,391 compared to £1,094,911 at 31.8.20. Equity markets made further progress over the second quarter of the year due to the various stimulus packages, including the impact of the global economy re-opening after the lockdowns of Covid-19. Trustees will continue to work closely with the investment manager to monitor the situation and take appropriate action to protect the income.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the Trustees seek to maintain the value of the original endowment. The annual income from investing the endowment is used to fund current charitable activities and the first priority is the salary for the Family Liaison Worker.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Jewell Bequest Charitable Trust is a registered charity which was established by a scheme agreed by the Charity Commission, effective from 26 June 2000. The charity was established from a legacy in the Will of Marion Tinsley Jewell.
There are four ex officio trustees who are office holders of certain posts at Chailey Heritage Foundation (of which Chailey Heritage School is part) and The Sussex Community Foundation NHS Trust (formerly South Downs Health NHS Trust) and two nominated trustees. One of the nominated trustees is appointed by the trustees of Chailey Heritage Foundation and the other by the Sussex Community Foundation NHS Trust or its successor body.
In addition, the trustees may co-opt one trustee. The co-opted and nominated trustees are appointed for a period of four years.
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 for the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for:
-
keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity; and
-
safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
