A thorough scoping exercise was undertaken by the Board where we reviewed twelve potential opportunities, shortlisted five of these and ultimately chose two charities to deliver the following initiatives. 'The Sir Simon Milton Young Creators Programme, which is being delivered by London Youth.

Our Bursaries initiative will see 50 students each receiving £1,000. While we are focused on these new major initiatives we have continued to support modestly limited number of smaller initiatives including bursaries at Gonville & Caius College Cambridge, two scholarships to students from Westminster and continued our supporc with grant to 'Real Action,, a literacy chariry working with children and adults in norch Westminster. We also had another successful year supporting two key initiatives for older people in the City of Westminster. 800 Christmas hampers were delivered to the most lonely and isolated residents of the City and our annual Tea Dance welcomed over 1,000 older people to an afternoon of dancing and entertainmen( including a dance medley from the Sylvia Young Theatre School, and music from the Red Stripe Band. We were also joined by our guest of honour, Christopher Biggins, who delighted those in 2ttendance. The Board are grateful to our Trustee, Robert Davis MBE DL who lead on these important 2Ctivities. On board trustee matters we extend our thanks to Lisa Milton, Sir Simon's 515ter, who retired this year having been a trustee since the formation of the charity in 2012.

I would like to thank all our sponsors and supporters which allow us to continue our activity and our board members for their work this year.
