Al the end of the year, the Board of Iruslees compllsed six academic trustees, drawn from the fields of the arts and humanities, medicine and science, four family Iruslees, and one trustee with specific financial expertise. A further appointment lof Sir Leszek Borysiewiczl was made following the year end.

A register of interests is maintained by the Foundab'on's office. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT The key objective of the Foundation Is lo contribute lo the health, resilien￿ and variety of our society through support for education (defined In its broadest sensel. The Foundation works in the fields of science, health, heritsge, humanities and the arts. The trustees have complied with section 17151 of the 2011 Charities Act. having due regard lor the Charity Commission's guidan￿ on public benefit when reviewing the Trusys aims and objectives. when formulating strategy and in making awards. One indication of the breadth of public benefit generated by the Foundation is the list of projects supported (see note 161. In a wider sense, public benefit eonsideralion5 also infomi our 1￿MewO￿ for monitoring and evaluation (see below). Our founders recognised that the creation and sharing of knowledge ale the building blocks of a healthy sooely. This principle continues lo inform and uncjerpin Woltson's acb"vilies and we Ihe@fore have a strong and renewed focus on education and research. The Woltson Foundab'on's Str8tegNc Framewortf covers the pericMJ 2020 10 2024. As an endowed charity we are able lo lake a long4emi perspective." remaining loyal lo our core values while resFX)nding tr) emerging needs and opportunities. We believe that our independence and long-lemi time horizon are strengths - strengths that allow us lo work flexibly and creatively whatever the Folilical, economic or cultural context. Our strategic framework 1s available lo download from the Foundation's website.. www.wolfson.or uklabouvslrale The framework slates that 'we don't know what the next five years will bring, and so our framework needs to be flexible. Bul we do know that research and education will remain of crib'cal importance to British society- and that philanthropy will need lo play an important role. That statement has been parbcularly pertinent across a period of significant change in British society. In January 2023, Iruslees held an away day to discuss the strategy in the light of changing circumstances alongside Information from an Applicant Perteplion Audil providing feedback from applicants and stakeholders (undertaken by independent consultants). The organisations that we fund indicate there is a real advantage to a mixed economy of funding from variety of SoUr￿s. In particular, suptM)rt from philanthropic organisab.ons like Woltson allows them to pursue their ambitions irTr ways that would be much more difficult through other sources of funding. They also indicate the ongoing and increasing need ft)r SoUr￿S of capital infrastructure funding. THE WOLFSON FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 The Woltson brand is intended lo be recognised as a mark of excellence. Vvhile 'exCellen￿, is defined differently by expert panels for each of our funding themes and programmes, our intention is to support outstanding projects that are exemplars within their particular area. We define 'excellence' broadly enough lo include organisalions and activities that are pioneering or promising, as well as those that are more established. The aim is that Woltson grants have a benefit beyond their financial value, helping recipients to raise addib'onal funds and to highlight the importance of their work. The impact of the Foundation's funding is monitored through biannual reports on projects provided by grant holders during the lifetime of a grant, by visits undertaken by staff and Iruslees and by a framewo for monitonng and evaluation. Each funding theme has 2 slated series of aims which provides a framework, kx)Ih for evaluation and monitoring. Our intention is that the burden on award holders should be as light as possible, and that the informab.on we collect should be proportionate - and provide only the detail ne￿$Sary for those evaluating the project as well as for assessing the general programme area. We aim to be a Ihoughfful, listening and responsive funder. While we receive infomial feedback on a con51anl basis, during the year we also commissioned an Applicant Perception Audit. We periodically commission external reports lo review the effectiveness of particular programme areas on a more targeted basis. The Woltson Foundation is a signatory to the Funder Commitsnenl on Climate Change Ifundercommilmenlclimatechan Grant-making process and policy Trustees make awards Iwice each year and are advised by expert panels comprising trustees and specialists, which meet before the main Board meetings. Four factors inffuence trustees in their decision-making. First, we aim lo support. promote and encourage excellen￿, both existing and polenlial. High quality grant-making based on rigorous, expert peer review is therefo￿ central lo all activities. Se(x)ndly, we attempt lo identify and support important areas that are under-funded, drawing on the work of expert panels and discussions with applicants and other funders. Thirdly, we encourage applicants to use Wolfson funds as a catalyst so that the our funding can lever additional support. Fourthly, we acb.vely seek collaboration with other expert bodies and funders. The Royal Soaety, Art Fund and Hospice UK are just three examples of organisatsons with whom we collaborate on joint funding progr8mmes. The Foundation has traditionally had an emphasis on capital infrastructure which accounts for some 85Vo of funding in a standard year. In particular, we priorilise supporbng infrastructure that allows lalenl and eX￿llen￿ to flourish. helps organisations to make a significant, strategic change in their acts"vity, and makes an organisation more sustainable. In targeted areas {and generally in pathership with other expert organisalionsl, we also fund talented people from a diverse range of background5 through bursanes, scholarships and merit awards. This recognises the fact that buildings and equipment are only effective alongside the work oftalenled people. A focus on excellence does not mean funding exclusively18rge or metropolitan organisations. As the list of awards demonstrates {nole 161, we are determined lo ensure that funding is distributed across the whole of the United Kingdom. THE WOLFSON FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 Funding is grouFEd around three areas.. Science., Health,. and Heritage, Humanities & the Arts. The funding is administered through a number of programmes. as outlined in note 16. More detail on the types of projects we fvnd is on our website. An emphasis on the creation. preservation and dissemination of knowledge means that education and research, in the broadest sense, are the overarching themes that encompass almost all our activity. Up to two thirds of the total grant expenditure is allocated lo higher education inslilulions. Applications are generally assessed by independent, expert reviewers, and applicants are given an opportunity to respond lo queries raised during the review process. We aim lo be clear and transparent in all our activities. We also aim to add value to individuals and organisations receiving funding through our communications and networks. In line with our communiealion strategy. we use social media channels, the blog and media outreach to highlight good practs.￿, offer guidance on the application process and make connections be￿een grant holders. Although the Foundation does notwork directly with children or vulnerable adults, it does provide funding to other organisalions that work with these groups. We seek to ensure. through proportionate and reasonable due diligen￿ and advice from the relevant expert panels, that grantee organisations lake their responsibility seriously and that safeguards are in place in these charities lo protect vulnerable people from abuse. The Foundation also seeks to ascertain that applicants have clear procedures for reporting concerns. STRATEGIC REPORT ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE This section presents highlights of our work across our key funding areas in the pa51 year. There is more Information about grants awarded and their ongoing impact on our website. and a full Iisl of grants awarded in the year is available In note 16 below. Following the policies outlined above, grants We￿ pledged lotslling £38.2 million, and cash payments of grants were made lotalling £37.3 million. The year's grant-giving was suc￿Ssful in that, on the advi￿ of external experts, quality projects in our priority areas were funded. Given the nature of the capital investsnenls, especially when funding infrastructure underpinning high- quality research, Il is loo early lo assess the long-term benefits of projects funded during this particular financial year. An evaluation of programmes is, however, undertaken on a rolling basis, usually by themed area and often in conjunction with an independent, exlemal advisor (see also Objecb'ves & Acbvitiesj. Results inform futu￿ funding, and where relevant. rekxjrts may be published on our website. The long-term outcome of supporting high quality but often neglected areas of research is often difficult to predict. An example of this in re￿nI years is Wolfson's funding of the UK'S infectious disease Infrastructure in the ye8rs leading up lo the Covid-19 pandemic. Our joint programme with the Royal Society to support laboratory refurbishment infrastructure was themed around infectious disease during 2015, 2016 and 2017. This meant that many of the top UK infectious diseases laboratories had been refurbished just before the pandemic. Similarty, the Jenner Institute in Oxford also receivecl major infrastructure support from Wolfson which. alongside a portfolio of fvnding from a variety of sources, helped ensure that researchers in the Institute were ready and able lo work on the creation of the Oxford Astrazeneca Covid-19 vaccine. THE WOLFSON FOUNDATION TRUSTEES. REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 111 Science This area continues to receive the highest proportion of our overall funding, particularfy for research infrastructure (new buildings, refurbishment and equipmenll. A key part of our strategy is close dialogue with universities and other research-inlensive organisalions lo idenh.fy projects that lake into account the insb'lution's str8tegic priorities and their own assessment of their research slrenglhs. We allocate funding on the grounds of excellence and not through a prescriptive emphasis on a particular theme or topic. We anticipate, however, that we will continue lo fund projects relating lo some of the great contemporary research challenges, induding, for example. climate change, mental health and neurodegenerative diseases. Ex￿llen￿ in this context Is defined as internationally compets.live research of the highest quality or with the potential to be of the highest quality. OUT funding span5 both biological and physical sciences, and we recognise the IM￿rtanCe ol tM)Ih fundamental and applied research. We believe that supporting the most outstanding science is likely in the long lemi lo result in significant, if often unpredictable, impact. The largest grant made during the year was £5 million lo University College London for clinical research facilities in the new Oriel Eye Hospital. This major project is a partnership behN￿n Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Charity, with the ambition of creating a world-leading centre for advancing eye health. in which research will play an integral role. Other biomedical research supported during the year included bi￿ngIneering laboratories in a new engineering building at the University of Newcastle, mass speclromelry equipment at the University of the Highland5 and Islands and a pioneering stem cell culture system al the Francis Crick Institute. Given growing cOn￿rnS about and threats from climate change, there was a continued trend of funding for research In this area. This included support for plant sciences. a molecular phenolyping centre al the James Hutton Instilule, plant science research facilits'es al the University of Essex and a research nursery for the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew al Wakehurst. The Wolfson Foundation has a long-standing interest in support for academics and we continued our joint progfftmme to SUPFX)rt the global recruibnent of talented researchers through Wolfson Fellowships. These are administered by the Royal Society, and match funded by government. We also conb'nued lo support the Council for Al-Risk Academics ICARAI to enable individuals fleeing war or persecution lo settle and find work in the UK, al a lime of InC￿ased instability in Afghanistan, Ukraine and elsewhere. Science education, starting at school bul continuing across all ages, remains an imFX)rtant part of our interests in this area. We continued lo fund capital infraslruclure projects to improve the leaching of STEM in secondary schools and sixth form colleges across the UK. An example during the year was the refurbishment of science laboratories al Ysgo5 y Grango in the rural village of Rhosllanerehrugog, near Wrexh8m. 121 Heritage. humanities and the arts Funding under this theme recognises the UK'S strength in these areas, and the importance of the heritage and cultural sectors for education in the widest sense, for the economy, for the enrichment of society and for our wellbeing as individuals. Our funding for heritsge, humanities and the arts supports and encourages excellence across the cultural and academic spheres.. at museums and galleries, libraries and archives, historic sites, perforrning arts organisab.ons and univerS￿ties. Museum5 and galleries remained the largest area of support under this theme. We funded capital projects across the UK including, for example an education room al the Hull Maritime Museum and the major redevelopment of Smithfield Market to create a new Museum of London (rebranded as London Museuml. THE WOLFSON FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 The UK has an extraordinary heritage of historic buildings and some remarkable buildings received funding- from Truro Cathedral to an Edwardian bathhouse in Glasgow. Two funding partnerships in this area were renewed.. with the National Trust. supporting conservats.on work al historic properties and gardens, and with the National Churches Trust INCTI. The grants lo churches - historically signilicanl and often of striking beauty administered through NCT take our funding into many rural and often isolated communities. Since its earliest days, the Foundation has had an interest in libraries and archives. The major award this year under this heading was for the British Library's ambitious project to create a new library site at Temple Works in Leeds. We again supported the performing arts, both through the Suslainabilily Fund (see below) and through pre-exisling funding programmes including, for example. for a new artist development centre al HOME in Manchester. Alongside investment In specific projects and an ongoing interest in the academic humanities, we continued to highlight the importance of the arts and humanities to British society. The Woltson History Prize is a book prize that has been awarded annually since 1972 to recognise works that combine excellence in research with readability. The prize has developed into a voice Championing history and history writing It celebrated its 50th anniversary during 2022. An exciting year of activities included a publication by the chair of judges, Sir David Cannadine, reflecting on 50 years of the prize and describing developments in the broader context of prize-making and prize-giving In partnership with BBC History, we hosted free public events on key historical trends and themes, celebrating and shoKasing the legacy of the prize. The discussion5 were recorded for the BBC History Extra podcast. A partnership with The Reading Agency also extended the reach of the prize into over 100 libraries across the UK. From a shortlist of six books, the winner in the anniversary year was Clare Jackson for, Devil-Land.' Eng18nd under Siege, 1588-1688. The judges cornnEnted that il is, 'a Masterp￿ce that wll change our view of the 17th century. Exciting and well-written, il provides fresh insghls by looking at England through European eyes.. {3} Health The fvnding under this theme recognises the crit'calty important work done by charities large and small in communities across the UK. There is an important role for civil society lo play alongside statutory services. Our funding is focussed on four strands.. palliative care and hospices," the needs of older people." support for mentsl health", and independent living for people with disabilities. We define excellence in this context by the quality of the care and service provided to beneficiaries. One example among many is the Elsie Norminglon Foundation's Haven Centre. This is a multi-purpose Trnlre for children and young people with severe, profound and multiple learning disabilities in Inverness. It will seNe a large swathe of the Highlands and Islands. During the year, we ran an exceptional Sustainability Fund. The fund responded lo the challenge facing many organisations in funding basic maintenan￿ and the need to make buildings more energy efficient, with a benefit both in environmental tems and in reducing ongoing costs. The funding for this Initiative was In addition lo our existing programmes and was intended to be as light touch and rapid a process as possible. Given the sharp rise in energy prices during 2022, the initiative was particularly timely. The Wolfson Sustsinability Fund ran for rounds. Grants were awarded in the range of £10,000 - £50,000 with up to 1000/¢ of funding offered. In lolal, 49 organisalions received funding for projects su as LED lighting, installing solar panels and energy efficient heating systems. The individual awards are itemised al note 16.
