SfRucfuRE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT St Giles-in-th&Fields and Bkx)msbury United (hrity is a Registered Charity (N. 1111908). It was set up by a scheme of the tharity CcMnmissw)n dated 10th August 2005. This consolidated four former charities: St Glles-ln-th￿FiekIS Almshouse and Pension Charity; The Bloomsbury DisFensary for the RelEf of the and Poor (founded 1801). Thomas Levertcm's Tharity (fourKJed 1824); and The Ditylin Brand Charity (founded 1904). The charity has a %)le corporate trustee - St-Giles-in-the-Fiekls and B1￿mSbUry United Trustee Ltd. The individuals who were Trust￿ of the tharity are now the Directors of that limited o)mpany. The Directors of the corporats trustee comprise four ex-officjo Directors, the Rectors and one urchwarden from St Giles-in-the-Fields and St George's, BloomSL￿ry and up to ft)ur co-opted Directors who are ap￿inted by the other Direthrs for a kviod of three years (after which they can be re-appointed). The Charity has adopted a recruitmen( sdecb'on and induction ￿AlcY for new Directors of the corwrate trustee. New Directors may ￿ sought by advertisement or through open dialogue with ￿levant organisations. Ml F>)tential Directors a￿ appropriately vetted and on apFointment new Directors sign a nM)del dedaration statement committing them to giving their time and their expertise. New Directors are provided with a file. which indudes a copy of the governing docwment, a copy of the latest annual accounts arKI a copy of CC3 The Essential Trustee published by the Charity Commission. They are initially suppjrted by the Chair and are encouraged to attend relevant training.courses. All Directors give their time freely and no remuneration was paid during the year. Details of trustee expenses and related party transattions are disdosej in Notes 6 and 20 to the accounts. Directors are required to disdose all relevant interests and register them with the Clerk and in accordan￿ with the Charivs rx)licy to withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

The Clerk (and other staff) are employed by the ￿ Giles-in-thtrFields and William Shelton Education Charity to undertake alministration on behalf of tth (haritie5 and the salary costs are shared. This relationship with the other thartty has been formalised through the agr￿rnent of a formal Memorandum of Understanding agreed by the Trustee of toth charities, which was reviewed in 2021. Together the charities are known as St Giles & St George. The Charity is a member of The Almshouse Assc(iatton. This wovides muth helpful informab'on on goxj prattice, thange5 in law afferting almshouse charities and a(ts as an authoritative lobby on behalf of almshouse charities with the government and regulators. OBJECTS AND ACTIvrrIES The objects of the Charity are the relief of financial hardship by: The provision of housing accommodation in the a￿ of benefit for widows or sixnsters in financial hardship, with a Preferen￿ for the former, who are not less than 60 years of age. The provision of grants of money, paying fc* items, services or faalities to persons living in the area of benef￿. In eX￿ptIOnal cases, the trust￿ may decide to assist sorneone who does not live in the area of benefit; and The relief of sid( or infim persons in finanaal hardship generally or individually, with preference for sick or infimi ￿rSOnS in financial hardship IviirKJ or working in the area of benefiL The Trustee confims that it has referred trj the guidan￿ contsined in the Charty Commisslon's general guidan￿ on public benefft when reviwng the ￿arityS aims and objecbves and in planning future activitie5 and Setting the grant makn.ng FK)liq for the year. The Charity carrEs out these obj&ts by.. Providing almshouses in the area for 8 older women. The St Giles Almshouses comprise a small community of eight self-contained flats situated around an attractive COUFtyard - an oasis of calm in busy Covent Garden. Providing grants to individuals living in the area in financial hardship. Providing grants to charitsble organisations working in the area viho provide Servi￿ to people in financial hardship ￿ who are or infinn. Area of Benefft The Charivs grant-making is geogrdphical. the area of benefit is the mcxjem ecclesiastical parishes of St Giles-in-the-Fields' St G&)rge's, BIcK)msbury; and St Paul's, Covent Garden. In Icol authorty temis, this includes the majority of Bloomsbury and Covent Garden & Hollx)m wards, in Camden and small parts of St James and West End wards in Westminster. It is a small area to focus on and cbse to 50Wo of the area of benefit is non-￿idential (open Spa￿5, museums, universty campuses as well as offitr and retsil). None of the ward areas fall into the 20 % most deprived nationally.

The Charity is proud to have given a recent graduate (aged under 25) valuable work expErien before they those to retum to their passion of teaching. The￿fore, the Charity chose to host another Associate through the 2027 programme, and they started in November 2024. This process has also developed very strong relationships with Westminster Almshou Foundation as the Grants offf￿r works part-time for them as well, so we hold joint superwsions. b) Govemance Towards the end of 2024, the aerk completed the Almshouse Awcration health theck designed to k)ok at key competencies acr055 all as[￿ of the organisation.

The Directors reviewed the results in earty 2025 and it has LEen retumed to the Almshou Association for their infonnation. c) Grants During the Grants Review in 2022, the Directors agreed another priority around the provision of independent advi￿. Our existing parthership with St Andrew Holbom led to a new opportunity to collaborate in funding a (neral Advisor role at Mary Ward Legal Centre (as advi￿ is a priority for them t￿). Although the applications were made to each funder separately we met to agree a joint apyroach in adVar￿ - our Charty is funding one-day per week for outreach work at Drag(￿ Hall and St Andrew HolLN)m is funding the other four days per weeL

This year 70 % of grantees lived outside our area of Iknefit (although usualty nearby) and were considered on a disu&ional basis. This is largely due to a growing relationship with St Pancra5 Welfare Trust who have a larger area of IEnefit but less funds.

Page 11 ILE IN-THE-FIELDS AND RY NrrED CHARITY RT OF THE TRUSTEE R THE YEAR ENDED 315r DE EMBER 20 FINANCE REVIEW (continued) Reserve5 Policy The Tru5t& has agreed that the charity should aim to hold reserves ￿u1valent to at least six months core running costs for the tharity, (induding the almshouses and the individual grants budget). The level of costs has been reviewed and UFKlated and the minimum level of reserves is £lOO,000. The charity has a numtw of designated funds, and these have bn drawn on durtng the year rather than the general rep4es (more in Note 15). The generdl reserves stand at E168,580 so the charitys reserves are slighuy higher than the target amount but no further acti￿ is needed. Investment Policy The Trustee has provided instruthons to the Investwt Brokers to manage the investment portfolio with a view to achieving a balanced retum letween capital gr￿ and income with a moderate risk profile. For 2024, the Trust￿ has instructed the Investment Brokers to manage the FL)rtfolio to protett the (real) value of the rEmianent endowment in the current environment of high inflation. Therefore, the charity will focus on f2Pital growth arKI not seek to generate income from dividends. This approach has been maintsined for 2025 and will be reviewed again for 2026. The Trust￿ reviews the ￿)￿0110 arKI cash balance5 on a regular basis.

All identified risks are as5e55éd for both likelihc& of (Mirren￿ arKI the tK)tential impact to give gross risk. Mitsgating controls are considerd. giving a net remaining risk. The risk management strategy foms part of the planning process, against which the Trustee revEWS rtsks formally every year. The charity needs to maintsin appropriate skills and commitment within its trustee Ixty. Failure to do so gives rise to the risk that the b)ard cannot operate effectively. The charity has estsblished a recruitment and induction process for new trustees and offers existing trustees access to a range of training optxxtuntties. The trustees undertTh)k a skills audit to review and agreed a 5kJ'115 action plan. The charity is tyendent upon tr£ instituknonal memory provided by the aer1(. Should the Clerk resign or retire, the charity risks losing access to key stakeholder retationships and knowledge. In future, the d)arty will seek to expand the way in wh￿h key stakeholder relationships are fflanaged so that these are shared more widely across the trustee body. The charity is reliant upon a limited number of income streams and could be subject to sudden loss of income, particula￿ arising from a void in rental of its property in Macklin Street. The charity attively monitors monthty income and seeks to identify any potential threats of future loss of income. In the coming wiod, the tharity will make finanaal plans for a future void at Macklin Street and assess the reserve5. The charity is dependent upon a third-party Su￿rier (DARV) for the rna1ntenan￿ of the almshouses, with significznt relian￿ on their expertise, knowledge and aC￿S to other contractors. A service-level agreement is in pla￿, arKI they deliver monthly reports on attivity.
