TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Catkin Pussywillow
Charitable Trust (the charity) for the year ended 5 April 2021. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and
financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the
charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP),
applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (Effective 1 October 2019).
Structure, governance and management
Constitution
The charity was established by a Declaration of Trust dated 26 June 2003 as the 'Catkin Pussywillow
Charitable Trust' and is registered with the Charity Commission under the registration number 1100036.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance
published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running
a charity (PB2)'.
Method of appointment or election of Trustees
Future trustees are to be appointed by resolution of the existing trustees.
Organisational structure and decision making
The Trust is administered by the Board of Trustees which is its governing body. There are no paid employees
and the trustees meet at least twice a year to discuss and implement policy.
Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the
operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate
our exposure to the major risks.
Objectives and Activities
In compliance with the duty set out in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 and in shaping our objectives for the
year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public
benefit. In deciding which institutions to provide grants to, the trustees given careful consideration to charities
that share the trust's objectives.
The charity's objects are the relief of poverty, distress and sickness, the advancement of education, the
protection of health and other such charitable purposes as the trustees see fit.
Achievements and performance
During the year, charitable donations received, together with related gift aid, amounted to £151,737 (2020:
£161,270). These resources, together with interest of £13 (2020: £244), were used to fund grants.
Going concern
The trustees have reviewed the circumstances of the charity, and consider that adequate resources continue
to be available to fund the activities of the charity for the foreseeable future. The trustees consider that there
are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Due to the nature of the
charity's activities the trustees do not expect the impact of Covid-19 and the measures taken to contain it to be
significant to the charity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
Structure, governance and management (continued)
Reserves policy
The Trustees wish to safeguard the trust's ability to support the beneficiaries in the future and aim to achieve
this by judicious management of its resources.
Material investments policy
The Trustees' policy with regard to free reserves is to aim for safety commensurate with immediate and

bankers.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trusteesare responsible for preparing the Trustees' Reportand the financial statements in accordance
with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Walesrequires the Trusteesto prepare financial statements for
each financial yearwhich give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charityand of itsincoming
resources and application of resources, including itsincome and expenditure, for that period. In preparing
these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trusteesare responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain
the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
Charityand enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the
Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008and the provisions 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.

requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
Ireport in respect of myexamination of the Charity'saccounts carried out under section 145of the 2011 Act
and incarrying out myexamination Ihave followed theapplicable Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charityhas prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be
