TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Message from the Chair
In 2025 we made further progress in line with the Board's 2024 strategy review and made
successful steps in moving this forward with the the launch of two new charity initiatives,
which we have committed £800,000 to over the next five years. 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. This programme will bring arts and culture into Westminster's youth
clubs providing activities from painting and design to dance & performance. It has given
a substantial number of young people the chance to discover new talents, express
themselves and build confidence.
'The Sir Simon Milton Bursaries, initiative is being delivered by the Brilliant Club in
conjunction with their Join The Dots initiative which supports disadvantaged young
people going to universiry. 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.
In terms of our operations, we have also made further progre55 in reducing our administrative
costs, through the support of The Trust Parcnership who have now been in position for a full
year.
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.
We look forward to another exciting year in 2026 in building on our strategy and delivering
strong impact in our activities.

TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Overview
Introduction
The Trustees present their Annu21 Report and Financial Statements of the Sir Simon Milton
Foundation ("the Foundation") for the year ended 31" December 2025. The Trustees confirm
that this Annual Report and the Finincial Statements comply with the current statutory
requirements, the requirements of the Foundition's governing document 2nd the provisions
of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102.
History of The Foundation
The idea of creating a chLritable foundation arose in 2010 following the impact of the
then new government's austerity programme on Westminster Council's provision of
services to the young and elderly. It took a couple of years for councillors to bring this idea
to fruition by which time Sir Simon Milton, the former pioneering leader of Westminster City
Council, had unexpectedly died in April 201 l. It was decided to name the new charity in his
memory and for the Foundation to have the principal aim of continuing to deliver Simon's
vision of a caring city that offers opportunity for all.
Since we were formed, we have raised over £5 million, enabling us to deliver a wide range
of charitable programmes in Westminster and more widely, reducing loneline55 and social
isolation among older resident5 and supporting young people from disadvantaged
backgrounds in edvcation and craining.
Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charitie5
Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity
Commission, including the guidance 'Public benefiL running a charity, (PB2).

The Young Creators Programme is already delivering clear and tangible results, whilst still
only in its first year with significant improvements in confidence, life skills development and
improved relationships being evidenced.

supporting 50 students per year from Westminster to participate in the
'Join the Dots, programme, which is a university transition programme
designed to support students facing the greatest challenges in making a
successful transition to university. It is targeted at students who are most

students are increasingly working alongside their Studies to make ends meet.

Fundraising
The primary source of income for the charity is interest on bank deposits of up to one-
year trrms. With the available interest rates in 2025, this has produced a significant
return on investment of £60k interest received and accrued interest (2024.. £77k).
In addition, Trustees undertook targeted fundraising in support of the Sir Simon Milton
Tea Dance and Christmas hamper project. Thi5 raised £42k (2024.. £42k)
With the new operating model now in place, it will costthe Foundation on average £248k
a year (2024.. £216k) to deliver its charitable programmes for the next five years. This is
being supported by reserves. In 2026, the Trustees will be undertaking a fundraising
strategy review to supplement existing and future commitments and developments.

THE SIR SIMON MILTON FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR
The Foundation's balance sheet remained relatively healthy during this tough financial
year. The total income for the year was £102k (2024: £120k), of which £60k (2024: £77k)
was interest earned on bank deposits. Restricted income for the period was £42k (2024:
£42k) primarily for the Tea Dance and the Christmas Hampers.
Total expenditure for the financial year was £248k (2024: £216k). Of this £207k (2024:
£102k) was spent directly on ch2rit2ble programmes. governance and support costs were
£41 k (2024: £114k)- Considering governance and support costs as overheads, a significant
year on year reduction in overheads to roughly 16.5% (2024: 53%) can be seen in the
Foundation's total expenditure.
Transfers totilling £60k (2024: £155k) were made from Unrestricted funds as
expenditure on Restricted funds exceeded the income.
We have continued to draw on our reserves as there was an overall net expenditure at
the end of the year of £146k (2024- £96k net expenditure). The total fund5 carried
forward at the end of the year are £1.342m (2024.. £1.488m).
Reserves
The Reserves policy is reviewed annually by the Trustees. With reserves at the end of
2025 of £1.342m (2024: £1.488m), of which free reserves were £1.342m (2024:
£1.488m), we remain a relatively well-funded small charity. The Trustees have decided
to increase the use of the Foundation's reserves to achieve greater impact with our
charitable programmes over the next five years.
The Board of Tru5tee5 believe5 that the Foundation has sufficient reserve5 for current
and future planned activities, taking into account the need to have-
A cash reserve that 15 also the immediate cover required in the event of the
need to close down the Foundation. The Trustees have agreed that the
Foundation must maintain a cash reserve, invested in liquid assets. equivalent

Foundation is already committed. Taking into account contractual obligations.
six months is estimated to be £174k (2024: £174k) in 2025 in line with the
agreed 2025 budget.
Sufficient funds to sustain the budgeted running costs for the foreseeable
future (at least five years) in order to implement the Foundation's strategy
and future planned activities. Annual expenditure is expected to be £358k
(2024= £358k) in 2025 in line with the agreed 2025 budget.
Remaining free re5erYes will be used to support new programmes for young
people from low-income familie5 in Westminster in education and training.

NOTES
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation of
uncertainty in the preparation of the Financial Statements are as follows:
Basis of preparation
The Financial Ststements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting ind
Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities
preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applic2ble in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and
the Charities Act 2011.
The Financial Statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of
the Foundation. Monetary amounts in the Financial Statements are rounded to the
nearest thousand pounds.
The Sir Simon Milton Foundation meet5 the definition of a public benefit entity under
FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction
value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
Preparation of the Financial Statements on a going concern basis
The Foundation reported a net cash outhow of £146k (2024.. £96k outflow) and cash at
bank on the balance sheet increased by £108k (2024.. £97k increase). The Trustees are
of the view that the cash held along with the plans for continued fundraising have
secured the immediate future of the Foundation for the next 12 to 18 months. There
are therefore no material uncercainties about the Foundation's ability to continue and
that on this basis the Foundation is a going concem.
Income
Income is recognised when the Foundation h2s entitlement to the funds, any
performance condition5 attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable
that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from grnnts, whether'capital, grants or'revenue, grants, is recognised when the
Foundation has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the
grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount
can be measured reliably.
Legacy receipts are recognised as income at the point when it is considered probable
that the Foundation will receive the money. Legacies, in whole or in part, are only
considered probable when there has been grant of probate, the executors have
established that there are sufficient assets in the estate, after settling any liabilities, to
P2y the legacy and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control
of the Foundation or have been met. Where legacies have been notified to the
Foundation but the criteria for income recognition have not been met. then the legacy
is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
