All Trustees sign a declaratioii ¢onfwming they liave read the relevant sections of th¢ Chaiilies Act and are not disqualified from acting as a Trustee. Qualifying third paty indemnity provision is in p14¢¢ for the benefit of all TsteeS, The TNstees recognise theii fundamental duty to protect the assets of their charity and to s¢cure it8 application for rhe objects of th¢ charity, In ord¢r to discharge this duty the TNstees have continued to ensure that adequ&te intemal financial and management controls over th¢ charity's as5¢ts and their use are in place. I)uring the year, the Tru8tees maintained a risk management procedure to enhan¢¢ the level of internal ¢ontrols already in place. The major risks to which the charity 18 exposed have been identified and assessed, Suitable control systems have been identified fflid reviewed to rniligate those risks. Whilst recognising that it is sound practice to do so, the Trustees contillue to monitor th¢3¢ fAsks on a regularbasis, or when new activities may warrant the llnPOSltion of new controls, The principal risks facing the charity are Identified and a5se5sed against a template, The analysls identtfies no signtficant and serious risk. Th¢ Charity contracts with third party advisors and suppliers for some service5. In each instance, th¢se aro professional entities providing Similar 8¢rvi¢es to the wider market. In the Case of legal and fiThanclal services, the advisors are regulated entities. As indicated in the financial statements (pa8¢s 12 to 26) tli¢ charity is cuttently adcquately funded and not unduly exposed to financial risk, In the opinion of the Trustees, the Restricted and Unrestricted reserves are sufficient to fund th¢ Charity for the foreseeable future, Pagé 3
Butchers and Drovers Charitable Institution TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEARENDED 31 DECEMBER2024 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES The objects of the Charity are: (A) the relief of distre55 among ben¢ficiaries by providing such ffftancial and otber support (including residential accommodation). A Beneficiary is an individual who is either a butsher or drover or any other person who is or has been connected in any capacity with the Meat Trade in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, or th¢ wife or widow, husband or widower, civil partnei., surviving civil partner, so or daughter of such a person or of a deceased person who was eligible to b¢ a beneficiary. (B) (B) Advancement of education in connection with the meat trade in the UK and Republi¢ of Ireland. (C) (C) Relief of need and advancement of edu¢ation for the public b¢netlt, Hlstori¢alty much of the Charity's resources were directed towards the provision of residential accommodation. However, Changing social patterns, Éogether with Signifint shifts in the retail meat trade has yesulted in the balance of help Continuing to move towards the award of a number of one-off grants and increasingly fu]anci&l assistance for education, From having seventy resident beneficiaries in the 19608 the number reduced to fewer than five. Accordingly, the freehold site of the Smoothfi¢ld homes was sold in 2007 to King50ak Limited, releasing a substantial capital $um which the charity applied in two ways: ftrst, by purchasing Sufficient flats in the open market to r¢-hous¢ its remaining residents, secondly by boosting its reserves through increased investments, the income from which will support a more ambitious grant.making prograrnme. For some time the oharity has been disposing of flats as each fell vacant. In 2024, the fmal three flats were sold. As a result the charty no longer has an interest in any re8identi&l property. The charity has notsd sotne declin¢ in the trend in the numb¢r of applicants who request ongoing fmancial support payments, However, where applications are rec¢ived seeking asststan¢¢ for ongoing living expenses, ongoing finan¢ial 8UPPOrt payments are awarded. The Trustees will eontinue to award where it is perc¢lv¢d that it will assist the living staiidards of the beneficiary, In addltion, th¢ number of IEquests for grants for essential item5 IS maintained, BURSARY AND EDUCATION The charity has Continued witl) the bursary scheme during 2024. In 2024 five bursaries of £5,000 each per year of study were awarded to students undert&king course5 with relevance to the meat trade. H4ry¢r Adams University continues to administer th¢ scheme. Appli¢ations are invited from Haetr Adams University sdentS in April/May each year, A process to select a short list and then fal interviews follows with bursaries awarded in JunelJuly. The scheme will continue in 2025. In addition, the specifically extended objects allow a rather wider offering for educational support. In this respect no appli¢ations (2023: 0) were considered. GRANT MAKING POLICY In pursuance of the objectives of the Charity, the Grants Committee meet5 regularly to consider applications for assistance. Each application is treated on its merits within the rules of th¢ charity and a grants policy. Awards may be met by a single grant, continuing grants, or b3, grant of ongoing fiiiancial support payinents. The cash assets of the charity, following tbe sale of tbe Smoothfield site and now disposal of all flats has permitted a more ambitious approach to grants. Applicants may be referred to the charity by s¢rvi¢e welfare charitkes 8J]d tt is recognised that as those who 5¢rved in the Seconil Word War and even those wlio performed National Servi¢e gradually decline in number, oth¢T sources of r¢ferrd will assume greater importance. The charity continu¢s to investigate the potential to assist suitably qualified beneficiaries by marketing and contact with industy sources. In common with otheT SiTnÉlar benevolent funds, BDCI receives comparatively few applications directly through the m¢at trade. By the time an applicant require3 help they have often left work or tnight in any cas¢ feel reluctant to solicit help through fornier colle8gues. Accordingly, th¢ Charity h4s $upported inttiativ¢s such ag the OGcupational Benevolent Funds Allfian¢e website oblinks.co.uk which provides a "one-stop shop" for anybody seeking help, OBFA promote the site colle¢tiv¢ly to organisattons such as Cktiz¢ns Advice Bureau who Rre often the first port of all for Éh05¢ In fJnanGial n¢ed.

Butchers and Drovers Charitable Institution TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFOR]V¥CE The Secretariat receives a number of enquirles for assistance èach year. Where the pot¢ntial applicant clearly does not qualify under the charity's guid¢line5 advice is given as 10 possible altcmative sources of assistance. Where the applicant does qualify they are asked to complete a simple fom which, together with supporting do¢um¢nts, goes before the Grants Committee. This committee met 9 (2023,, 9) ttines during the year and Considered 39 {2023,' 29) applicatlons for assistance. Applications varied greatly in the nature of the appeal, but the ¢li8lbility of successful candidates remain3 strong, Of the 39 (2023: 29) applications consld8red, 31 (2023.. 21) w¢re suc¢e$5ful, It Is evldent from the niany letters of thank5 that tlie Charity receives each year diat th¢ differen¢e in quality of life that the grants make possible is much appreciated by the recipR¢nts, Successful applicants were awarded grants for items as diverse as an electrlc bicycle, boots and moving, sofa b¢d and fridge treezer, funeral costs, convalescent broak, replacement windows, replacement boiler. We have also seen a rlse In requests for general living expenses. Grant$ awarded hjd an average value of £1,213 (2023: £1,231) althougli with its income the charity has been able to make 5ev¢ral 8rants of betw¢¢n £200 and £5,000. In 2023 a new initlative to award apprentlc¢s achievln8 'Gateway' £200. was commenced. The aggregate of awards under this scheme was £13,800 (2023 £6,200). Since occupation of tlie flats at Smoothfi¢ld in November 2007, th¢ number of beneficiary tenants has continually d¢¢lin¢d. As at th¢ b¢ginnin8 of 2024 there were only two in residence. Th¢ Charity has, for some time otyered any vacant flats for 5a1¢ on the open mark¢t. How¢ver, with the present slate of th¢ hou5ins mark¢t, in¢r¢a$ing regulatory requirements and no fresh beneficiary requirements, th¢ Board sold the fmal three flats held by the Cliarity in one transaction during the year for £310,000 (£489,932 after costs). This resulted in a loss of £110,068, How¢vei, tlie retum from tlie reinvestment of funds received is expected to Provide 5ignifi¢ant additional fundlng for the Charity. Further, freedom of obligatiotis for mainrenance and repair significantly reduco fmancial expogure. The two beneficiary residents continue to benefit from the 24-hour ernergen¢y h¢lp line provided by Houn8low Councll al the expense of the Charity find our remaining two benefjciary tsnant$ reeeive additional $eivice frorn an appointed qualified agency. FINANCIAL REVIEW Dllring 2024 investment income increased (18.53Q/o) as a result ot th¢ purchase of new investments froin the SAI¢ of the Smoothfield flats. Total Lncorning resources for the charity in 2024 decreased by 4.93 % to £443,084, Expenditure on all calegories of charilabl¢ activity amount¢d to £317,280 (2023.. £345,821), other expenditure to £80,309 (2023: £68,342)* producing a surplus on the opeyating a¢count of £45,495 (2023,. £51,943). The Tnistees remaln confident that thoir investm¢nt poll¢y is sound and that incorne from investments continu¢$ to be adequate and appropriate to the Charity's needs. erves Poli As part of the pro¢ess of incorporation, the obJ¢ots of the charity were made wlder, Specifically, this was twofold. Firstly? the objects now alluw for the inclusion of applications for asslstance from beneticiaries in ihe Republi¢ of Ireland, S¢¢ondlyJ tbe irquirement that all beneficiaries are over 60 or unabl¢ to work has been removcd. AS a result, in ac¢ordan¢¢ wlth the requirements of the Charity Commission, the reserves of the ¢harity must be allocated to 'Restri¢ted' which refers to the objects under the old rnles of the chNrity aud 'Unr¢stri¢t¢d' whleh refei's to funds raised after April 2014, less payments made under the new objects. With ¢ff¢ct from April 2014, all incom¢ from Charit&ble activiries is allocated to the Unrestrictod fund. Since the Inception of the lld at ineorporatioll and approval of th¢ wider obJ'e¢ts by the Chariti¢s ComJnAssion, the balance Page S
Butchers and Drovers Charitable Institution TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 of the Unrestric¢ed fujd stands at £299,241 (2023,. £305,807). The Charitable expendityre against the Unrestricted fund was £19,583 (2023: £2,800). The Trn5tees are therefore satisfied that the Unrestricted fund is at least suffi¢i¢nt to meet fure demands. The Trustees have agreed the l¢v¢l of reserves should be sufficient to meet the demands und¢r the objects of the Charity, The Charity's Restricted Reserves comprise pemanent endowment and inv¢sttnent in equities, bonds and Cash. In vlew of a continuing demand on the Charity's resources, and the uncertain level of income from annual fundroising efforts, the Trustees maintain that curront levels of R¢stricted Reserve$ are not ¢x¢essive. Assets are adequate to fulfil the obligations of the Charity and the majorlty of funds are r¢ali8able at short notice. The value of Restricted funds at year end wa5 £14,500.590 (2023: £14,357.442). The Charity's Unrestricted Reserves comprtse cash raised on and after 3 April 2014 less grants and other eharltable payments made under the new objecls of the charity. In view of a continuing d¢mand on the Charity's resources, and the uncertain level of income from annual fundrnising efforts, the Trusteeg malntllin that ¢utt¢nt l¢ve1$ of Unrestricted Reserves are not excessive. Assets are adequate to lfIl the obligations of th¢ Charity and are reaEi5able at short noti¢e, The extsnsion of obje¢t$ in 2020 and 2023 allowed that fall¢la1 support for wider educalion. However, it was necessary to ensure that such activities would not advei'sely rtffect ongoing siipport. The Trustees are satisfied that this is th¢ ¢a$e, The Trusfe¢s' investment policy auns to o¢hieve three objectives.. Funding,, to ensure that ov¢r time sufficieiit assets are available to nieet the iJe¢ds of potential b¢n¢ficiaries' St¢urity', to ensure that th¢ downsid¢ risks of market moveinents ar¢ minimised. Stability,, to have regard to the Trustees, ability to meet its liabilitie5 on a year.by.year ba81s. Undue concentration of risk is avoided by diversification wlthin and across a nurnber of Major assel classes, The performance of the Charity's inveslm¢nt managers is revlewed regularly dgalnst r¢l¢vant b¢nchmark indices, During tl)e ye&r, the investment perforniance wa$ ¢onBistently at or above the benchinarks. During the year Trustees considered wh¢th¢r any specific company or industy should be exclud¢d fi'om the eliarity's investment portfolio on the grounds of conflict with the chArity's stated objectives and concluded that no contlict on these grounds existed. Howcvcr, the Trustees aim to observe re5ponslble investinent principles. The chartty's investment managers are expected to take into consideration tlie environmental, social and governance characteristics of existin8 and prospe¢tiv¢ investments, where thls Is pra¢tl¢able and proportlonate in the context of overall investment policy. FUNDRAISING BDCI operates very little fundraising activity. In th¢ past a Festival Dinner was held, typically in O¢toberNovember. This served to publicise th¢ work and a¢livitAes of the ¢harity wlthin the industry and achieved modest fundraising (2019.. £24,000), However, the surplus rttised by the event had been 5tepdity reducing each year. In view of the present level of fijndlng of the charity and the risk that a Festival Dinner may actually deliver a loss, no such event h85 been held since 2019. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The Thistees continue their efforts to publl¢ise tho activities of the Charity lo those who might be eligible for help and review the level of fundraising requir¢d in light of the cun'ent r¢quests for assistance. It has been tbought that the narn¢ of the Charity, part1¢Ul1Y tb¢ word3 'B¢n¢vol¢nt Institution, may communicate a somewhat dat¢d messa8¢. As a result, the Charity has adopted the sttxp line 'Leon on U5., in an effort to project a more conten)porary message.

In doing so, the Trustees have taken the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit into consideration. The charity receive8 numerous letters and inessages of thanks from beneficiaries and other5 receiving financial support.
