TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The Trustees submit their Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2025.
REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATION DETAILS
Principal Address: 24 Victoria Road, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14 2TE
Trustees: Wendy Eugene Gough (Chair)
James Mason James Frederick Mitcalfe Hope
Registered Charity Number: 1115274
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Trust Deed of The John Fawcett Foundation (UK) [JFF(UK)] is dated 13th June 2006, as amended 16th January 2008, and is based on the Model Declaration of Trust for a Charitable Trust (2004). The Trustees are reappointed every three years. They receive no remuneration or other benefits either directly or through arrangements with other parties.
ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES
“To support the humanitarian activities in Indonesia, that are charitable at law in England and Wales, of The John Fawcett Foundation, whose aim is to relieve sickness, suffering and distress, in families of the lower socio-economic group, associated through blindness, eye disease, cleft lip and palate, and serious crippling and debilitating disease, particularly in children, through provision of medical equipment, medical care, medical advice, welfare and support services’’.
JFF(UK) raises funds in the UK which it forwards in its entirety (less necessitated expenses) to The John Fawcett Foundation [JFF] in Bali, as soon as practicable.
The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The 2025 appeal went out in the spring and after a slow start to receiving donations (most of which are regular ones from charitable trusts who have been supporting us for
1
many years) we were left a substantial personal legacy from a wonderful lady who had run a family charitable trust in the past. We remember her with fondest memories and she was a delight to know. This resulted in an exceptional year’s total donations.
JFF Bali wrote in their Donor Report – “On behalf of the entire team at JFF and those who benefited from our eye health and sight recovery services, which is only possible by your kindness, generosity and support. The funds you have contributed have made an enormous difference to so many lives and enabled the JFF Bali Team to achieve excellent outcomes this year. Thank you”

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Donations increased in 2025 to £69,470 compared with £33,050 in 2024, due to one very generous and kind legacy of £50,620. Accordingly, £67,300 was remitted to JFF (2024 - £31,400). JFF(UK) has never paid for any staff, fundraising, governance costs or office overheads (rent, heating, lighting, telephone, etc.), as work has been carried out from the Chair’s home. As one donation was received just before the year-end, £3,635 was held in the bank account at 31st December 2025 (£1,602 at 2024). The policy is to hold minimum cash as reserves, as is practicable.
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ Report above.
