Trustee selection methods The current trustees are members of the Nugee family. New trustees would be appointed by the surviving or continuing trustees as the need arises. Additional governance issues (Optional information) The Nugee Foundation is an unincorporated grant-making charity established by Trust Deed. The Foundation has 4 trustees: JF Nugee, Sir Christopher Nugee, AJB Nugee and Lt General RE Nugee CB CVO CBE. You may choose to include additional information. where relevant, about: The Foundation's main purposes are twofold: policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; the charity's organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; With respect to the Patronages of the parishes of Wymering and Cosham, Farlington and Great Oxenden, the object of the Foundation is: l) to hold the Patronages, or in the case of Great Oxenden, to hold the share of Patronage of the united benefice of Faxton; 2) to exercise the right and duties of the Patron in the respective relationship with any related parties; TAR March 2012
parishes; 3) to support the parishes covered by the Patronages both financially and in any other way the Trustees see fit. trustees, consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. With respect to the Foundation's other charitable activities, and especially its financial activities, the objective of the Foundation is: 4) to support the provision of music in schools and among young people; 5) to support the use of music as a therapy to help those suffering from physical and mental illness. 6) to support other charitable activities that the Trustees may from time to time agree on. The Trustees have explicitly agreed that the Foundation should remain apolitical {i.e. it should not make grants to any political cause), and should not be limited to causes based in the UK li.e. it should have the powers to consider requests for grants from charities based oversea5). As a Charitable trust the Foundation has the power to accumulate income for up to 21 years without disbursement. However, and not withstanding this 21- year period of flexibility, the Foundation aims in general to distribute the bulk of its income in grants each year. Within this, the Trustees have the power to hold back income for future years, grant making (i.e. to distribute in any given year less than the full amount of that year's income}, to draw on accumulated income from previous years, and to make grants out of capital {i.e. distribute in any given year more than the full amount of that year's income). The Foundation is not limited to one off grants and entertains repeat requests for donations, but as a general principle the trustees prefer to avoid committing the Foundation to multi-year grant-making, to match income for each financial year. The Foundation aims wherever possible to base its decisions and actions on unanimity among the Trustees, but in matters legal and financial the Foundation can operate on the signature of two Trustees acting together. The Nugee Foundation is committed to applying the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in its business activities. The Trustees recognise their duty to ensure that the charity is compliant with the law and they are committed to good governance and to implementing and enforcing effective systems throughout the organisation to prevent any improper conduct arising in their business dealings. Against the background of the Foundation's work as defined in its objects, the Trustees consider that the risk of the charity contravening The Bribery Act 2010 to be very small. For the avoidance of doubt, however, The Trustees expressly prohibit anyone a550ciated with the charity from offering, giving, soliciting or accepting any bribe (of whatever nature) in order to advantage in any way the charity, applicant charities, themselves or persons/businesses connected with either. TAR March 2012
Trustees attended a range of governance and investment workshops and seminars throughout the year and regularly review Charity Commission guidance and publications in order to ensure that the principles and recommended practice for good governance are observed. In addition, the Charity Governance Code (July 20171, compiled by a consortium of bodies including the Charity Commission, was reviewed during the year by the Trustees who will continue to give it due regard. The Trustees consider that they comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Trust. The Trustees give of their time freely. Apart from the Trustees there were no volunteer5 in 2024 (2023: nil). Remuneration of employees and key management personnel - The Foundation considers its key management personnel comprise the Trustees. The total employment benefits, including employer pension costs of key management personnel were £nil12023: £nil). There were no employees in this Foundation in 2024 or 2023. No Trustee received any remuneration from the Foundation nor were reimbursed any expenses during the year {2023: £nil). Ultimate Controlling Party- The Trustees are of the opinion that no one party exercises ultimate control of the Foundation. The following transactions have taken place between Trustees and the Foundation that are reportable under Financial Reporting Standards. The Trustees each made an annual donation to the Foundation of £1,000 {2023: £1,000 each) and in 2024 one trustee also donated a further £1,600. There were no other reportable transactions in 2024. The day-to-day management of the Trust is carried out by the Trustees. The Trustees are supported by The Trust Partnership with accounting and book- keeping and by their legal advisers, Hunters. Investment Policy and Objectives The overall financial objective is to maintain the real value of the capital of the Foundation, represented by a portfolio of financial assets, and to use the assets to generate a sustainable income to fund grant-making. As a rough guide, the Trustees would expect this income to be around 3-4% of the capital in real term. To assist them in this task, the Trustees have appointed Brewin Dolphin Ltd {the "investment manager") to manage the financial assets of the Foundation on a discretionary basis. The portfolio managed by the investment manager represents the entirety of the financial assets of the Foundation with the exception of working balances in the Foundation's cash bank accounts. The investment objective as given to the investment manager is to produce the optimum overall financial return (i.e. capital and income combined) over the long term within an acceptable level of risk. To achieve this, the investment manager is asked to manage the portfolio on a diversified risk basis with a balanced income/capital growth return objective, using the Brewin Dolphin Risk Level 6 a5 a guide for the portfolio. TAR March 2012
Risk Management The main risks that the Trustees have identified and discussed with the investment manager are: A: Investment risks Inflation risk, mitigated through investment in real assets. Capital risk, tolerated in the short term and mitigated over the long term by a55et diversification. Liquidity risk, mitigated by a general ban on non-marketable securities or private placements. Currency risk, mitigated by an upper limit for non-sterling-denominated assets of 40Yo of the portfolio at the date of purchase Credit risk, mitigated by a lower limit of Baa3/BBB for any direct debt instrument in the portfolio at the date of purchase of the security, with the exception of bank "co-co" bonds Concentration risk, mitigated by a limit for any one security of 5/0 of the portfolio at the date of purchase. *the investment manager is to consult the Trustees for advice on action if any of these limits are breached through subsequent market moves and the position is established. B: Fiduciary risks Negligence by the investment manager, addressed by regular portfolio and compliance reporting Failure of the investment manager, mitigated by the separation and ring- fencing of client assets The Trustees confirm to the investment manager that they have no investment restrictions based on conflicting interests or any ethical policy with the following two exceptions: l) The Foundation's portfolio will not be invested in Brewin Dolphin Stock, or any debt instrument issued by Brewin Dolphin Ltd or any associated company. 2) The Foundation's portfolio will not be invested in Imagineear Ltd stock, or any debt instrument issued by Imagineear Ltd or any associated company. The Trustees may change these restrictions at any time by giving due notice to the investment manager. TAR March 2012
The Trustees and the investment manager agree that: l) A summary of the Foundation's portfolio and its performance shall be supplied to the Trustees every 3 months covering calendar quarter periods (Januaryto March, etcl; 2) The investment manager will supply a commentary on the previous period with each report. 3) After the October to December report is ready the investment manager will, should the trustees request it, arrange an annual review meeting with the Trustees at which, inter alia, the expected income for the current year will be discussed. Internal Controls The Trustees have a duty to ensure that adequate systems and procedures are in place to safeguard the Trust's assets. The Trustees ensure that appropriate internal controls are implemented and monitored and that the risks are managed and controlled. Trustees, Responsibilities The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Whatever the cause, the Trustees seek to direct their funds to where they can make a major difference, and this aim steers them away from significant appeals. policy on grant-making; policy programme related investment; contribution made by volunteers.
