OBJECTIVES

The Foundation is a grant making charity with its stated objective (Trust deed dated 20 January 2009) being such exclusive charitable objects as the Trustees in their absolute discretion think fit but to include (1) the advancement of education and (2) the relief of poverty and sickness. Since its inception in 2009 its reach has expanded to cover all those who are in need in the Community.

The Trustees will continue to pursue the objectives already firmly established with regard to the overall Foundation strategy.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charities Commission on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s objectives and planning future activities.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

Notwithstanding the challenges faced around the world with rapidly rising costs, a war in Europe and the aftermath of covid, the Foundation continued to make a positive and meaningful impact in local communities. Full details of grants awarded.are shown below.

As a golf club charity, the Foundation is almost entirely dependent on the generosity of the members of The Wisley Golf Club Ple (“The Wisley”). Normally the Club holds 2 main charity events for the benefit of the Foundation: The Doublet and The Charity Team Challenge. The Foundation, since its inception in 2009, has donated over £1 million for the benefit of the local community. This is a remarkable achievement for a golf club charity.

In 2022 over £82,000 in total was raised from these main events and other activities. Members also continued to make direct donations to the Foundation. The Foundation remains in a strong position to make some impactful donations, helping to bring positive change in peoples’ lives going forward into 2023.

The Wisley Foundation

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2022

TRUSTEES’ REPORT cont.

Surrey’s outstanding natural beauty and perceived wealth mask increasingly high levels of social deprivation. Through the Foundation, The Wisley has recognised its role within the local community and the need to continue to actively engage with and support small local charities who work tirelessly to meet the needs of the entire Community.

In 2022 grants were made by the Foundation to both existing and new charitable partners (some of whom were introduced to the Foundation by members):

In addition, we continued to support the members’ own charitable endeavours through sponsorship. This year we supported charity cycle rides for Envision, and Duchenne UK and the men’s mental health and cancer charitable initiative, Movember.

In December the Trustees organised a Christmas Give initiative in partnership with The Wisley. Chocolate Christmas Trees and smoked salmon packs were sold to members. All profits, which the Foundation matched, from the Chocolate Tree Appeal were for the benefit of 2 chosen food banks: Loveworks and North Guildford Food Bank.

The Trustees would like to thank all the members and guests who have supported the Foundation as well as the Directors of The Wisley, the Club Captain, the Golf Club Committee and the management team and staff who make it all possible.

With this continuing support, the Trustees look forward to continuing the Foundation’s work in 2023 with existing, new and future partners and strengthening The Wisley’s links in the local Community.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2022

TRUSTEES’ REPORT cont.

GRANT GIVING POLICY

The primary focus of the Foundation is to support local (Surrey and adjoining Counties) charitable organisations working on behalf of all the community in need. Support will be provided on a project basis rather than general gift giving. The Foundation wishes to be associated with measurable activity which can be reported back to the members. Smaller charities, whereby the Foundation’s contributions can make a significant difference, will be favoured over larger organisations.

The Foundation operates a conservative financial policy. Borrowing and speculative investment will not be permitted. Funds will only be committed on an annual basis based on received funds in that year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During its fourteenth period of operation the charity received £82,452 (2021: £132,649) by way of donations and a further £45 (2021: £2) from bank interest. Total resources expended in the period amounted to £98,700 (2021: £66,837) resulting in a net deficit of £16,203 (2021: a surplus of £65,814) with an unrestricted fund balance of £80,689 (2021: £96,892) and a restricted fund balance of £Nil (2021: £Nil).

GOVERNANCE

As a result of their commitment to best practice and governance, the Trustees continually review the processes and practice of the Foundation. In 2021 the Trustees agreed a set of Policies and Procedures for the Foundation and also formalised and adopted a Risk Register. These are subject to periodic review, with the Risk Register reviewed in June 2022.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are committed to best practice and continue to monitor the processes and controls.

RESERVES

The Foundation is continually reviewing its reserves position. In 2020 the Trustees commissioned a full reserves policy review which was agreed and formalised in May 2020. Having referred to “The Charity Commission’s Guidance document — Charity reserves: building reliance (CC19)” the Trustees agreed that the Foundation should be assessed at very low if not negligible risk. In December 2020, the Trustees decided to maintain a minimum balance of £5,000 in reserves, including £2,500 for the provision of operating costs (including professional fees and sundry costs, such as printing and website maintenance). It was agreed that the reserves level and position will be monitored and reviewed periodically to reflect best practice. The Reserves Policy was reviewed in June 2022, and no change was proposed.

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and ofthe incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; e observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102):

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WISLEY FOUNDATION

I report to the charity’s Trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Wisley Foundation for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 15.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

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.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Trustees believe there are no such significant items.
