Together the tharities a￿ knNn as St Giles & St George. The Charlty is a member of The Amshouse Asgxiation. This provides much helpful Infonnation on good pracuce, changes in law affecttng almshouse charitles and acts as an authorltatlve lobby on behalf of almshouse charTties with the government and regulators.

Area of Benefft The Charity's grant-making is geographical, the area of benefit is the m(Klern ecdesiastTrcal parishes of St GIles-in-thtr￿elds.

None of the ward areas fall into the 20% most deprived nationally.

Page 4 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORPUNCE Summary of the Year The focus throughout 2022 has been our response to the cost of libing crisls- thinking ab)ut the variety of impact that it has had on our stsff, almshouse residents, grantees and local residents. a) Grant Making The strdtegic reNfjew (started in 2021) adopted new values of Compasslon; Connection; and Cont6nuity.

Tr level of costs h&4e been reviewed and uwlated and the mlnimum level of reserves Is £98,000.

For 2023, the Trustee has instructed the Investment Brokers to manage the portrollo to protect the (real) value of the permanent endowment In the current ￿VIrOnMent of hlgh Inflatlon. Therefore the charity will ￿uS on caixtal growth and not seek to ger£rate Income from dividends. This decision will be r￿eWed for 2024.

Page 11 E-FIEL PIUNCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Tnjstee conslders risks in five key areas: straw, governan￿ and management; operational; financial; environmental and extemal; and legal and ststtjtory. hjl identified risks are assessed for both likelihty)d of occurrence and the wenlial impaLt to give gross rfsk. Mitigating controls are considered, giving a net remaining risk. The rfsk management strategy fonns part of the plannlng process, against whith the Trustee rewews risks fomially every year. The charlty needs to malntsln appropriate sktlls and commltrnent within its trustee tody. Failu to do so glves rfse to the risk that the board cannot operate effecbvely. The charlty has eSta￿Sshed a recrultment and IrKluctlon pr(Kess for ne￿ trustees and Offe￿ exlsting trustees access to a range of training opportunltles. Tr trustees undertook a skllls audlt to revlew and agreed a ￿115 actim plan. The charity Is dependent upon the instibjtlonal memw provlded ty the a&*. Should the aerk reslgn or retlre, the charfty rlsks loslng access to key stakeholder relationships and knowledge. In future, the charity wlll seek to expand the way In which key stakeholder relatlonshlps are managed so that these a￿ sha￿d more widely across the trustee boty. The charfty Is rellant upon a Ilmlted number of Inc(yne streams and could be subjett to a sudden loss of income, pa￿cularlY arislng from a vold In ￿ntaI of sts property In Mackiln Street. The charity aLtively monitors monthly income and seeks to Identify any potential threats of future loss of Income. In the coming pwlod, the charity will make finandal plans for a fvture vold at ma￿1n Street and assess the reser¥es. The charity is dependent upon a third-party gjppller (DARV) for the malntenance of the almshouses, with significant relian￿ on their expertlse, knowledge and access to other contractors.
