TRUSTEES REPORT
(A company limited by guarantee and not having share capital)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Objectives and activities
The Charity’s objects, as stated in the memorandum, are:
-
to support and relieve, for the public benefit, in accordance with the principles of Dr Rudolf Steiner and the related governing principles of Camphill Charities, individuals in need with a connection to the Camphill network of charities, or other institutions operating in a manner consistent with such principles, particularly (without limitation) such charities, or institutions, in England and Wales and such individuals being past or present co-workers, volunteers, employees, board or committee members, helpers, supporters, residents or beneficiaries in relation to such charities, or institutions and their respective dependants;
-
for the public benefit, to relieve sickness, promote good health, provide care to and advance the education and training of people with disability (whether mental of physical), the young, the old, or people otherwise in need, in accordance with the principles of Dr Rudolf Steiner, particularly (without limitation) by the establishment and maintenance of communities in the form of villages, residential houses, day centres, kindergartens, schools, colleges or other types of social and/or educational community, in which beneficiaries live and/or work and/or to which they otherwise resort, in community with persons providing support.
The strategies employed to achieve the Charity’s objects are to:
-
Maintain an accurate and up to date database of all likely beneficiaries
-
Ensure that participating Camphill charities provide adequate funds to meet beneficiaries’ needs
-
Develop clear and acceptable policies and procedures to ensure fair treatment for all eligible applicants
-
Administer applications and exercise prudent financial procedures to protect the Charity’s assets and maximise beneficiaries’ welfare
Public Benefit: achievements and performance
Our approach to assessing public benefit comes from the statutory objective set in the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees are confident that the Fund provides clear benefits, without causing detriment or harm to anyone, fully related to our aims. Furthermore, the beneficiaries are appropriate to our aims, and the opportunity to benefit is not unreasonably restricted within the beneficiary group. In assessing the public benefit of our activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on Public Benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
The Camphill Benevolent Fund has established its disbursement policy to achieve its objects, for the public benefit, to improve the lives of older Camphill co-workers by meeting their financial needs. The Fund reviews its policies, procedures and administrative structures to ensure that our objectives are pursued and thereby advance public benefit. The Fund supported its beneficiaries, within the Charity objects, by:
-
Collecting considerable funds from member charities to be able to meet beneficiaries’ needs
-
Adopting detailed policies (such as finance, investment, administration of applications)
-
Recruiting a part time administrator to support the Trustees
-
Liaising with similar Camphill funds in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, in order to be able to co-operate in meeting beneficiaries’ financial needs
-
Considering all applications and making disbursements to beneficiaries.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
(A company limited by guarantee and not having share capital)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Financial Review
General overview
From the accounts, it will be seen that incoming resources for the year to 31 March 2024 were £138,612. Resources expended were £195,626, net loss was thus £57,014 before investment gains. Looking to the balance sheet, current assets less current liabilities were £113,882 and total net assets were £2,616,770. We consider these figures to be healthy, showing a strong asset base sufficient to meet the Charity’s needs for the foreseeable future. The loss before investment gains reflects the fact that the majority of member charities continued to pause donations during the year in light of the Charity’s strong balance sheet.
Reserves Policy
The Camphill Benevolent Fund’s income is based upon contributions from member charities. As such, cessation of this funding would entail cessation of discretionary disbursements and our reserves policy acknowledges this; understanding that most of our expenditure would cease.
To this end we consider an appropriate level of reserves is such to cover around two year’s expenditure. Our current unrestricted designated funds are £358,494 and we maintain a cash reserve of approximately £100,000 on deposit. The current reserves level is therefore above our policy level which we consider appropriate given the recent inflationary economic conditions.
In line with the CBF Investment Policy and in order to achieve growth in income and capital, surplus funds were kept invested during the year with Sarasin & Partners. A quarterly Investment Review is produced by Sarasin which is distributed to the Trustees. Any future excess funds will be added to this fund when available.
As such, the Trustees are content with current reserves and will review them twice a year.
Structure, Governance & Management
Governing document
The Camphill Benevolent Fund is a company limited by guarantee with no share capital, governed by a memorandum and articles of association. It was incorporated on 20 March 2008 and registered as a charity on 23 October 2008.
Appointment of trustees
Trustees are appointed by processes laid down in the articles of association. New Trustees may be co-opted by the Trustees, in accordance with the governing document, to provide necessary skills to support the Charity, and full appointment and routine re-election procedures are undertaken at annual general meetings.
Trustee induction and training
Trustees are briefed on their legal obligations under company and charity law, the governing document, decision making processes and financial performance of the Charity. We commission periodic external training events, in order to ensure high standards of governance and awareness.
Organisation
The Trustees are responsible for the governance and administration of the Charity. They meet quarterly and receive reports from the Executive committee and administrator. These reports convey the disbursement decisions, matters of policies and procedures, and financial budgets and reports. In the past year to reduce costs some of our meetings continued to be held successfully using video conferencing. It is expected that a mix of video and face to face meeting will continue into the future.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
(A company limited by guarantee and not having share capital)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Related parties
The Camphill Benevolent Fund has eight corporate members; these are Camphill Charities in England, who work together to provide funds to meet old age needs of retired Camphill co-workers. The Charity also administers funds on behalf of one further Camphill Charity which is not a full member and administers a run off fund contributed by a former charity member.
Risk management
The Trustees have considered the risks to which the Charity is exposed and have put steps in place to mitigate those risks:
-
A periodic review of risks the Charity may face
-
A finance policy to ensure good practice and appropriate financial controls
-
An investment policy to deal with preservation of capital and aim for growing reserves
-
Financial risk management by developing and reviewing our reserves policy
Plans for future periods
The main financial concern for the Charity will be to maintain funding from our member charities during a time of great change in our regulatory and funding authorities. Member charities, within their governance responsibilities, need to balance the needs of older co-workers with revenue and capital expenditure; we need to ensure good communication and partnership to promote the welfare of our beneficiaries.
We continue to review our systems of financial strategy and financial control, to achieve a robust procedure of delegated authority combined with a system of monitoring and review to ensure the effective use of funds in delivering our objectives. In particular, we have adopted an investment policy and appointed an investment manager (Sarasin & Partners) to help us to protect and grow our resources; developing and managing this relationship will be of great financial and governance importance.
Confirming the discretionary nature of our grants, and more properly understanding their relationship to State benefits, has been important. We continue to work to ensure our resources can be effectively used to meet needs, while being mindful that maintaining contributions from member charities can only become harder as their own funding levels are under pressure.

Responsibilities of the Trustees
The Charity Trustees (who are also the directors of Camphill Benevolent Fund for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice)
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the Charitable Company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the council should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Charitable Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions .
