disaster such as earthquakes/floods or in areas of
conflict.
Support takes the form of one-off grants or
Christmas grants, which are explained below.
The Ben Fund formerly provided quarterly grants,
but these are no longer available and only a small
number of existing quarterly grants remain in
place.

The committee of management also decided to withdraw the offer of interest-free loans, due to the additional administrative burden on the British Council’s payroll team. One-of grants These are grants usually to a maximum of £2,500, but occasionally up to £3,500 or more if it is deemed appropriate and agreed by a majority of the Trustees. All applications received must be confirmed as true and valid by the Country Director for overseas staff (current and retired); by Head of Department for UK staff and by HR/last line manager/BCA (British Council Association) for UK retired staff. Two Trustees must approve applications up to £2,500; applications up to £3,500 must be approved by at least three Trustees and five Trustees for anything over £3,500. Applications can be made at any time throughout the year to ensure the response can be timely and appropriate. The impact of the grant can be very real and positive, e.g. access to medical care for staff members, elderly parents, spouses or young children, the repair of a house due to natural disasters, support for bereavement costs otherwise unaffordable or support to help with initial rent deposit to provide secure housing are just some of the types of cases dealt with on an annual basis. 41 one-off grants were made, with a total value of £45,173. Christmas grants These are much smaller in value (ranging from £50 to £100 each) and follow a different process. During November, line managers are invited to nominate members of their teams who are facing hardship, by submitting an application on their behalf. The committee of management reviews all applications and approves or declines during a minuted group discussion. Decisions are relayed to the line manager, who then confirms the decision to the individuals. It is made clear at the time of promotion that these grants must not be used by line managers as a reward for performance or substitution for compensation. 33 Christmas grants were awarded, with a total value of £3,800.

Statement Para 1.18 The support provided by the Ben Fund does not

whether the available to people connected by a common

had regard to
the guidance Therefore, as stated in Annex A of the Charity
issued by the Commission’s guidance on the public benefit
Charity requirement (PB1), the trustees are aware that the
Commission on Ben Fund is a charity whose purpose is to prevent
public benefit. or relieve poverty and therefore the public benefit
requirement can be met by satisfying only the
‘benefit’ aspect and there is no need to consider
the ‘public’ aspect.
That is to say, the trustees keep in mind when
reviewing applications that support should only be
given where it will either prevent or relieve the
difficulties which arise out financial hardship and
poverty, and where applicants have insufficient
means to resolve problems without additional help.
In August 2020, the Secretary conducted a survey
of trustees to inform a discussion and review of
their understanding and application of the Charity
Governance Code. This review led to an action
plan focused on developing specific areas of
governance within the organisation.

and any wider the world to donate online in several major
benefits to currencies.
society as a
whole. A two-week online ‘Lockdown Challenge’ raised
£1,289. Regular weekly quizzes were run by
volunteers throughout the pandemic, with global
participation, helping to boost donations.
During the summer, colleagues in Lebanon were
affected by the explosion in the port area of Beirut.
The Ben Fund launched an appeal and colleagues
in the country were encouraged to come forwards
for financial support to cover medical costs, repairs
to their homes and vehicles. The Lebanon Appeal
raised £9,626.
Partly due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and partly to
continue the Ben Fund’s new success at global
fundraising via JustGiving, the traditional physical
Christmas markets were converted to a digital
format and a new ‘End-of-year Cheer Festival’ was
created. Colleagues from around the world ‘shared
a skill’ via online demonstrations, or joined a
virtual choir, among other activities. The End-of-
Year Cheer Festival raised £3,378.
Volunteers helped to produce a video with the
Director of British Council’s Lebanon office,
explaining how the appeal funds and grants
awarded to colleagues in Lebanon had boosted
morale amongst staff affected by the blast in the
port area of Beirut. He said “seeing the response
from around the world was a huge morale booster
for staff…the money…had made a real different to
colleagues’ lives, whether support for healthcare
costs, or more material support for repairs to
homes and cars. 2020 has been a very difficult
year, but the support of the Ben Fund has been a
highlight demonstrating the value of cultural
relations and of solidarity.”
Income from fundraising activities amounted to
£22,005, with further voluntary income from
payroll and pension donations, direct bank
payments and gift aid of £6,838. With the
inclusion of interest on investments of £82 and
dividend income of £8,501, total income for the
year was £37,426.

Financial Review
----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the Para 1.21 Cash reserves at 31/03/2021 stood at £109,967
charity’s compared to the £144,047 at the beginning of the
financial year. The settlement of the net debt of £54,005
position at the with the British Council for the grants paid by
end of the overseas offices in 2019-20 and 2020-21 will
period reduce the cash holdings.
The Fund continued to hold an investment in
M&G’s Charibond Income Fund and in Charifund
Income and Accumulation Funds.
The value of the Fund’s investments increases to
£725,289 (£581,955 in 19/20). The net unrealised
profit of the Charity’s investment was £143,335 in
line with overall investment market strength.
The total value of the Fund’s assets (investment &
cash reserves) were valued at £835,256, an
increase from the £726,002 in 19/20. This was due
to the movements explained above.
Statement Para 1.22 The Ben Fund’s purpose and main source of
explaining the expenditure is providing grants (or loans) to
policy for current or former British Council employees and
holding their dependants who are experiencing hardship.
reserves
stating why The trustees set a target amount of grants and
they are held loans to be distributed each year, and a maximum
level for each grant. These targets may be revised
in-year to respond to the impact of natural
disasters or other emergencies.
The main sources of income are investment
income, donations and legacies, and fundraising
events. The majority of the reserves are held as
investments, although the charity also holds cash
in bank accounts for ease of access for
reimbursing the British Council for payment of the
grants (or loans), as the British Council makes
payments on behalf of the Ben Fund through its
established payment processing
systems. Approximately £100,000 is required to
be held in the bank at any one time to meet these
in-year requirements.
Income from investments currently provides
around a third of total income and helps the Ben
Fund to manage the risks from fluctuation in the
other income sources.
Reserves are held to provide a source of income,
ensure the long-term sustainability of the Fund,
and to respond to unpredictable demands for
assistance caused by natural disasters or other
emergencies.

----- Start of picture text -----
The trustees aim to balance meeting the needs of
current actual or potential beneficiaries with
maintaining the long-term viability of the Ben Fund
and meeting the needs of future potential
beneficiaries.
The target range for reserves agreed for 2020/21
was £550,000 to £750,000, in addition to the
£100,000 required for in-year operation of the
organisation.
In setting the target, the trustees review the net
income or expenditure position and level of
reserves at least annually. The trustees are
reducing the reserves to the target level in a
cautiously managed way by setting the target
level of grants above the current level of income.
Amount of Para 1.22 At year end investments stood at £725,289, plus
reserves held £109,967 cash at bank and in hand. Therefore,
reserves held were within the acceptable range.
