## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: 

- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; 

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

- relationship with any related parties; 

- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. 

**Policy Regarding Trustee Appointment:** Trustees are selected on the basis of the expertise and experience that they are able to bring to the Charity.  As the position is voluntary, and the current scale of operation is such  that  there  is  no  need  to  employ  any  additional  assistance,  key attributes are the willingness to both provide the necessary time to carry out any tasks that arise, and to underwrite any incidental costs that result from those actions, so minimizing (and to date eliminating) any resultant costs to be met from Charity funds.  Trustees are not subject to specific induction training, but all Trustees are supplied with the Charity Handbook which is updated  regularly  and  reissued  every  six  months,  and  which  contains details of all the policies in place, operational procedures, and details compliance with all of the current relevant legislation.  The Handbook is always a specific item on the six monthly meeting agenda (being reviewed and updated as necessary before the meeting), and any changes are discussed to ensure that all Trustees are fully aware of the latest legal requirements, to ensure that the Charity is in full compliance with the Charity Commission guidance. 

**Organisational Structure:** The Trustees constitute a governing board, which meets biannually (or additionally as may be required).   Direct and e- mail contact is made between the Trustees on a regular basis to discuss and agree any actions, grant approvals etc. that may be required. These are subsequently reported formally, at the next Trustee meeting.   The Charity is not part of any wider network, operates as a sole entity, and it is the specific wish of the Founder that it remains completely independent. Upon his death, his intention is that a permanent endowment from his estate will provide regular income from a suitably managed investment portfolio, which the Founder wishes to be used by the Trustees to continue the activities of the Charity, as an independent organisation, in perpetuity. 

## **Relationship with Related Parties:** 

The Charity has no formal direct operating relationship with any other charity  or  organisation.    Informal  relationships  exist  with  other  local charities, such that suitable applications may be passed between them or very occasionally co-funded, where appropriate, and subject to approval of the applicant. 

Several groups collect for the Charity, but, while any and all donations are very greatly appreciated, the Trustees retain sole control over decisions regarding the use of any funds donated.  No payment is made to any organisation to raise funds for the Charity. 

The Charity is occasionally approached by other charities for donations.  In each case it is prepared to offer help only if a suitable case is referred directly to it, and it can then deal directly with the applicant, so that the

effect of any administration expenditure by the original charity is avoided. The Chairman completed a long term of office as a Governor of Pens Meadow Severe Special School in Wordsley, retiring in mid 2023. The Charity periodically helps some of the children/young people attending the school, but all applications for help follow the standard procedure, and are considered  by  all  of  the  Trustees.   Assistance  is  granted  only  if  any application satisfies the Grant Criteria, the necessary funding is available, and all the Trustees agree to proceed.  This Governorship has enabled the Chairman  to  be  regularly  updated  on  any  new  legislation  relating  to children/young people with disability.  The Chairman is also a Trustee and Chairman of another local Charity, providing a wide range of general help. This Charity Secretary is head of Not for Profit at a large local Law Practice, which also enables the Chairman to be regularly updated on any new legislative compliance requirements. 

**Trustees Consideration of Major Risks:** The Trustees are aware of the guidance in “Charities and Risk Management” CC26 October 2012, and that  a  Charity  is  encouraged  to  make  a  statement  regarding  Risk Management as a matter of best practice. The Trustees consider that carrying out Risk Assessments on the major activities is a very worthwhile exercise,  and,  accordingly,  operations  are  reviewed  at  the  biannual meetings, and procedures are regularly updated and extended in the light of operational experience, revised legislation/guidance, and any relevant practices adopted by another charity of which the Chairman is a Trustee (and currently Chair, as mentioned above). 

The Charity has a comprehensive set of operating procedures, which are detailed in the Charity Handbook, and which are regularly reviewed and updated as required. 

The Trustees also regularly review the Safeguarding Policy, and while it remains a Charity requirement that all Trustees must satisfactorily complete a  basic  DBS  check  prior  to  appointment,  this  has  subsequently  been extended,  with  two  nominated  Trustees  required  to  also  complete  an enhanced DBS check, and to act as the specified direct contacts with children although this has not been necessary for many years and the Trustees have taken a decision that it must never occur.   Accordingly, there will be no contact in future between any Trustee and any young person mentioned in an application to the Charity.  In view of this, the Safeguarding Policy will be further reviewed during 2025 to reflect the change agreed. 

The Trustees’ Statement of the Consideration of Major Risks is: 

“At the current scale of operation, with the only point of contact with the public normally being via the provision of grant aid finance, approval for which is only given following the receipt of external expert assessment, having an extensive Policy for Safeguarding Young People in place and in operation, a procedure for monthly reporting of the financial position and all transactions to Trustees, as well as the annual review by an Independent Examiner, current risks are assessed to relate to the ability to generate sufficient funding, generate a suitable level of grant requests, and ensure the long term continuation of the Charity.  Operational objectives have already been set to address these risks". 

## **Section C                    Objectives and activities** 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its** 

To provide financial assistance at the discretion of the Trustees to provide the relief of Physically Handicapped Children, within the United Kingdom, in particular but not exclusively to improve the quality of their lives by the

## **governing document** 

provision of financial and other assistance, for example the purchase of equipment and modifications to improve access and mobility, or for any other purpose that the Trustees deem to be in accordance with the aims of the Charity, in Stourbridge and surrounding areas. **Public Benefit:** 

The Trustees are very aware of the requirements for the Charity to be able to demonstrate, explicitly, that its aims are for the public benefit, and for Trustees to report on their charity’s activities for the public benefit. 

## **Charitable Activity:** 

It is considered that the charitable purpose listed as “the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship, or other disadvantage" in the Charity Commission publication "Charitable Purposes and Public Benefit" issued 16.09.2013, covers the activities of the Charity, as detailed in it's stated objects.  The Trustees conclude that this demonstrates that the Charitable Purpose is for the Public Benefit. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

In order to demonstrate how the Charity’s aims, and purpose, comply with Public Benefit requirement, its activities have been examined in more detail, in relation to the Public Benefit Principles. _Principle 1: There must be an identifiable benefit or benefits Principle 1a:   It must be clear what the benefits are:_ The public benefit requirement is met by the clear stated aim of providing financial assistance to physically handicapped children. _Principle 1b:   The benefits must be related to the aims_ The stated aims cover the provision of financial assistance to provide the relief of physically handicapped children,  and the activities of the Charity throughout the year have been solely related to the provision of financial assistance within the areas listed under Charitable Activity. _Principle 1c:   Benefits must be balanced against any detriment or harm_ The Charity carries out no direct activities other than the provision of financial assistance to help the relief of physically handicapped children. It's  actions  are  in  response  to  requests  for  assistance  which  are supported, either initially, or following a Charity request, by information and  advice  from  experts  in  the  relevant  areas,  explaining  why  the assistance is required, the specification of the equipment to be purchased with the grant, and the cost. The Charity, therefore, provides finance only when suitable external expert advice has already been provided. _Principle 2:  Benefit must be to the public, or section of the public Principle 2a:   The beneficiaries must be appropriate to the aims_ The aims of the Charity are to provide relief to physically handicapped children.  Accordingly, the benefit is available only to a section of the public.    This selected grouping has two restrictions: Firstly, it is limited to children and young people.  While the discretion of the Trustees is used, the stated age requirement is from 0 to 25 years although a young person over the age of 25 years but close to it could be considered within the Trustee discretion limit. 

March **2012**

Secondly, the child, or young person, must require assistance for the relief of problems associated with a physical disability, in order to be assessed for a grant, and be in a position where insufficient funding is available from other sources, to provide the relief requested. 

It is considered that the restrictions are the result of a clear definition of the charitable purpose, and are reasonable and relevant to the Charity’s aims.  They define a potentially substantial class of people able to benefit, and anyone who could qualify for the benefit is eligible. 

_Principle 2b:    Where benefit is to a section of the public, the opportunity to benefit must not be unreasonably restricted by geographical or other restrictions_ 

While the Declaration of Trust Deed does allow the Charity to operate throughout the UK, the Charity’s primary stated aim is to help children and young people with physical disabilities, in Stourbridge and the surrounding areas. The location of operation is at the discretion of the Trustees.   In view of the size of the Charity, and current scale of operation, it was considered sensible and practical to concentrate initially on the local area. Accordingly, approval of applications to date has been restricted to only those within an approx. 50 mile radius of the registered office, any final decision on location remaining at the discretion of the Trustees.  The Trustees consider that the area specified is of a very significant size (covering 7,850 square miles which is over 75% by area of the entire Midlands region), particularly in relation to the size of the Charity, and does not place unreasonable geographical restrictions on applicants. 

_Ability to pay any fees charged – While this section was withdrawn, the Charity wishes to state clearly that there are no fees charged for any of the activities of the Charity.  Everything done is an outright gift to the recipient, with no retention of title, so this section was never applicable._ 

_Principle 2c: People in poverty must not be excluded from the opportunity to benefit_ – Withdrawn by Charity Commission in 21.12.11 Guidance, but not applicable in any case since all activities are outright gifts, and the Charity has a specific Policy Statement that it does not retain title to any equipment purchased. 

## _Principle 2d: Any private benefits must be incidental_ 

The  activities  of  the  Charity  are  confined  to  the  relief  of  physically handicapped children by the provision of relevant financial assistance. The  assistance  is  generally  for  the  direct  purchase  of  an  item  of equipment, and, primarily, therefore, benefits only the recipient. 

None of the Trustees is associated in any way with the assessment, manufacture,  or  supply  of  any  equipment,  or  receives  any  payment associated with the provision of the financial assistance. 

As a result, it is considered that the Charity operates only to help those specified in its charitable aims, and the Trustees do not obtain any private benefits from the Charity. 

## **Conclusion:** 

**The  Trustees  formally  declare  that  they  have  had  regard  to  the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit, and consider that the activities of the Charity are in full compliance.**

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

**Grant making:** The grant criteria require two specific items of information to be supplied with an application, a supporting letter from a suitable Healthcare Professional explaining the problem, what is needed and why it will help, and a detailed quotation after assessment by the supplier’s competent person.  If funding for the equipment is not available from the NHS, the family is in need, and there is no other funding, the Charity will consider approval of the application, subject to it’s own funding position, and certain checks having been carried out in accordance with the Grant Criteria.  Then, if approved, a grant is made by BACS transfer, always payable direct to the supplier, as a gift outright with no retention of title. 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

**Contribution  made  by  Volunteers:** The  Charity  operates  with  zero expenditure on administration.  All work is voluntary, and can easily be carried out by the Trustees, so the Charity has no additional volunteer requirements. The Trustees meet any incidental expenses incurred, so that the Charity operates with no costs. 

## **Policy Programme Related Investment: Not Applicable.** 

The Charity responds to applications made to it, and does not seek to make any other grants or form of support. 

The Charity has no contracts with any group, and does not receive funds for any work carried out.  All activities carried out by the Charity are voluntary, there are no paid employees, and the Charity operates solely as  a  grant  making  organisation,  in  response  to  requests  for  help  in accordance with it’s Grant Criteria. 

The only other activity is fundraising, where the Charity seeks to be involved in as many diverse fundraising options as possible, in order to raise the funding required for operation.  It’s grant making ability is limited solely by the amount of funding that can be raised, as there are no other sources of income. 

As previously stated, the Charity makes no payment to any organisation to raise funds. 

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

## **Key Financial Highlights:** 

 The Charity began the year with funds of £23,283.27  Income for the year was £86,299.99  Grants made totalled 81 at a cost of £105,229.03  Administration expenditure for the year was again zero  Leaving total funds (Reserves) at the year end of £4,354.23

where applicable (to be claimed April 2025). 

- The Lady Captain of Stourbridge Golf Club, who took up her two year role in November 2022, chose the Charity as her nominated charity, and we continued to receive collections from her second year in office. 

- The Stourbridge Golf Club new Captain (formerly the Men’s “B” Team Captain) has also collected for us, adding his donations to the Lady Captain’s total which has shown encouraging support. 

- The Gift Aid Claim for April 2023 to April 2024 was again promptly paid by HMRC, amounting to £5,564.45. 

- Charitable  Foundations  were  a  great  help  during  the  year. Fortunately, our work was well accepted, and we received total backing of £45,950.00. 

- Company donations were again lower this year than we would like at £928.00 for the year, and this source does prove to be very volatile depending very much on the fortune of being selected to receive a donation in any year. 

- We would like to thank the Clent Hills Rotary Club who again helped  us  on  several  occasions  during  the  year  with  further funding.  Towards the end of the year, one of their members sadly died, but a fundraising generated a Funeral Collection of £872.98, and further substantial donations were later also received in his memory. 

- We received £7,000.00 from the estate of Alfie Johnson who also died during the year.  We first helped the family many years ago with a special car seat for Alfie and his father subsequently set up a charity also helping local families with children with disabilities. We have always remained on good terms, and periodically co-fund more expensive purchases and this donation was extremely useful to us. 

- Collection boxes raised £101.95, but this amount does vary and longer term with less use of cash, we see little prospect for growth in the amount collected. 

- Fundraising event income was £2,127.15, and once again came from a number of sources.  We hope to have a few more events in 2025, starting with a Quiz already organised by supporters for mid January. 

- The sale of donated items, mainly Christmas cards which the Chairman arranged to have printed and then he donated them to the Charity, raised £549.00, an increase on 2023 (mainly due to excellent help from Clent Hills Rotary) and another small but useful addition to funds. 

- Total grants completed were significantly up on 2023 at £105,229.03, but despite a similar spread of approx 50% “Small” grants (ie less than £1,.000.00) to recent years, the average grant cost increased.  This was not unexpected as prices have remained stable  for  a  number  of  years  and  we  were  expecting  some adjustment to take place.  The overall result was that the 81 grants required approx. £18,500 of additional expenditure over previous recent years which further adds to the funding challenge we face in keeping up with requests for help. 

- With the substantial demand we faced, we had to introduce a waiting list on several occasions, with delays ranging from 2 to 4 weeks.  We always try to avoid any delays as the equipment requested is usually needed as soon as possible.  Starting 2025 with Reserves lower than we would like, we anticipate that we will once again be facing the usual funding challenges.

|**Brief statement of the**<br>**charity’s policy on reserves**<br>**Details of any funds materially**<br>**in deficit**|The primary objective of the Charity is to ensure that the funding raised is<br>directed to those in need.  If an application fulfils the Grant Criteria, and<br>the Trustees, at their discretion, consider that a grant should be made,<br>then provided sufficient funds are available, help will be given, even if it<br>reduces the reserves to zero.  With no operating costs, we have no<br>minimum reserves requirements, and the Trustees consider that all funds<br>held should be used for the purpose for which they were donated, with no<br>minimum retention level. The Charity can stop and restart operations at<br>any time, with no financial implications other than a delay in helping those<br>in need.

The Charity considers that its method of operation offers four points of possible differentiation from other charities, which might be worthy of consideration to potential donors: 

## **Targeted:** 

We are a local charity, targeting small sums for specific uses, which can make a dramatic difference to both the life of the individual, and the family.   Typically this will involve the purchase of a special piece of equipment to help with daily life, which can range from a special car seat, special support chair, a walker to aid mobility, special exercise equipment to aid development, sensory equipment to help with challenging behaviour and equipment to help those with visual impairment and deteriorating sight conditions. 

## **Safety Net:** 

The NHS systems often have gaps which leave individuals with little hope of receiving help, and it is in these areas that the Charity operates.  The special equipment required often has to be funded from a general budget of the special school attended by the child (and available funding is usually limited), or by the parents for home use (and again, some parents circumstances are such that they are unable to fund the equipment recommended). The Charity can help by providing the required funding directly to an equipment supplier for the identified needs of a specific child (or group of children). 

## **Timescale:** 

We try to respond to a request within 24/48 hours.  Larger organisations often have quarterly cut off dates for applications, and periods of 3 to 4 months before a determination is made.  When a young child needs exercise  equipment  for  development,  we  believe  that  speed  is  critical,  particularly  when  they  have  a degenerative or life limiting condition, and for suitable applications, we can give a fast response, allowing improvements to start much earlier. 

## **No Costs:** 

We operate without any overhead costs.  All the Trustees, and their friends, provide the necessary services free of charge, and no person receives any payment from the Charity.  This includes office services, printing, postage, website development.  As a result, every penny donated is put to the use that the donor intended. 

## **General Data Protection Regulations:** 

This Act came into force on 25.05.18. Deemed consent disappeared, which meant that we required positive consent from our supporters for them to receive any further communication from us. We also had to have procedures in place stating exactly what data we hold, why we need to hold it, how we protect it, and how our supporters may unsubscribe from future contact, if they wish.   Only those contacts who have provided a positive response are on our circulation list, and contacted by us when a new report on progress is available. We have also published our detailed policy on Data Protection and handling on our website.
