REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The current board of trustees has been selected from graduates of United World Colleges, parents of graduates and other volunteers who have been active in supporting the aims of the committee over the years and their terms of appointment conform to the memorandum and articles of association. As we seek to strengthen the capacity to deliver our objectives we aim to recruit new trustees with the appropriate skills as well as a passion for UWC.
Organisational structure
The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to discuss the development of the charity and its objectives.
Related parties
The charity has been formed to create a better awareness of the objectives of the United World Colleges movement and has a close relationship in professional and funding terms with Atlantic College in South Wales along with the sixteen overseas United World Colleges.
Risk management
The major risks, to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed. The trustees are satisfied that the risks the charity faces at this early stage in its development are minimal.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The United World Colleges National Committee of Great Britain is committed to the promotion in Great Britain of the aims of the United World Colleges. In particular, we aim to increase awareness about the United World Colleges movement, select students to represent Great Britain at United World Colleges, and enable their continued involvement in the United World College movement.
In shaping and delivering our aims and objectives for the year and future strategy, the Trustees paid close attention to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on advancing education. All activities are planned to contribute to these aims and objectives.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The National Committee of Great Britain was set up in 2004 and continues to work steadily towards achieving goals set out in our Mission and Vision.
The Charity depends upon the efforts of its voluntary officers and supporters, all of whom are either in full-time jobs or education to provide an efficient and professional service to ensure that the Charity's objectives are continually met.
The trustees hold at least four meetings annually to discuss progress against strategy and objectives and to consider practical solutions to improve and enhance the performance of the Charity.
The trustees would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all of the volunteers who continue to enable UWC GB to function. The selection process, publicity, fundraising, welfare and events all require substantial amount of work. Without the dedicated and extremely capable team this simply wouldn't be possible.
More details of activities are provided to the members of UWC GB in the Annual Report.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees have examined the charity's requirement for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has been established a policy whereby restricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets should be capable to meet overhead costs over a three month period. As the charity has a small amount of financial activity at this time it is not expected that the reserves requirement will be material but this will be reviewed by the trustees on a bi-annual basis.
The charity's funds have all been applied in accordance with its objectives.
Investment policy and objectives
The charity will develop a prudent amount of reserves in accordance with its policy and other than that does not expect to generate substantial funds for long term investment at this time. It will maintain cash reserves in the most beneficial interest bearing accounts that are available to it from its bank.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
