Trustees’ Annual Report
Donations from the Tingewick Society (part of the Oxford University Medical School Osler House Club) and the associated Gift Aid were the only income in this financial year.
The Tingewick Society continued, as in previous years, to raise money through the Medical School pantomime and other events, with the intention that surplus funds and donations would be used to support two charities.
The transfer of the money to beneficiary charities has been achieved by the Tingewick Society first donating the money to this registered charity, the Tingewick Trust, and then the Tingewick Trust making the grants to beneficiary charities in the health and care sector.
During the 2024/25 accounting year the Trustees with the advice of the Oxford University Osler House Steering Group agreed to simplify the medical student charitable fundraising process by removing the step of the funds going through the Tingewick Trust. In future the money raised by the
Tingewick Society will be given directly to the beneficiary charities without the need for the Tingewick Trust to act as an intermediary. This will be largely through donations at events being paid directly to the beneficiary charities through electronic means. Those charities would be able to claim Gift Aid themselves. The Tingewick Trust will therefore be unnecessary as an intermediary and will close during 2026.
Closure of the Tingewick Trust
During the 2025/26 year or early in the subsequent financial year The Tingewick Trust will ensure that its remaining reserves are passed to the beneficiary charities for the relevant year the funds were raised. The charity’s bank account will be closed and the Tingewick Trust will seek to be removed from the register of charities.
The medical student charitable activities are expected to continue through working directly with the beneficiary health and care charities rather than the Tingewick Trust.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Tingewick Trust
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30th April 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
Carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
