_Annual report 2021-22_ ## Houghton & Wyton Community Fund ## Registered Charity number 1184624 Annual report of the Trustees for the year ending March 31[st] 2022 ## **Details of the Houghton & Wyton Community Fund (“the Fund”)** The Fund is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It was registered as a charity in July 2019 and began operations in early 2020. ## **Purpose and Objectives** The Fund exists to benefit residents of, and other people closely associated with, the civil parish of Houghton and Wyton who are in need of charitable support. A significant source of finance for the Fund is envisaged to be from the surplus profits of the Houghton and Wyton Community Shop Ltd (“the Community Shop”). ## **Activities and Achievements** The Trustees envisage that a broad range of Community support will be offered in future, for example to assist village clubs and societies, young people with ambitions to travel, and residents with extra needs who are not well served by the public sector. However in its second year of operations the Fund has continued to focus on the immediate needs created by the Covid-19 pandemic, and other possible future areas of support have been precluded by the Covid- related national restrictions. ## **Governance** The Fund is administered by up to five Trustees. The current Trustees are Lesley Craig, Guy Morton and Simon Summers, who can be contacted via the Fund’s email address which is: hwcommunityfund@gmail.com . A copy of the Fund’s Constitution and an application form for assistance is also available from this email address. The Fund’s postal address is: c/o The Laurels Thicket Road Houghton HUNTINGDON PE28 2BQ. The Fund’s regulator is the Charity Commission. ## **Financial Review** During the year ending March 31[st] 2022, The Fund received a donations of £2,050 from the Community Shop. In addition donations from local residents totalled £1,040. The trustees are most grateful to all who have contributed in support of the Fund. Out of the total income of £3,090, the Trustees have made grants during the year as follows: **----- Start of picture text -----**

The Fund therefore had an operating deficit of £690 for the year. As a result, having begun the year with a bank balance of £1,813, it ended the year with a reduced balance of £1,123. The Fund had no outstanding financial commitments as at March 31[st] 2022. Any future commitments to grants over more than one financial year will always be covered by funds already in the Fund’s bank account. ## **Conflicts of interest** The Trustees note that two trustees are also officers of the Parochial Church Council, and one is a member of the Committee of the Village Shop. These are all unremunerated posts. In the Trustees’ opinions, no conflicts of interest arise in these regards. ## **Public benefit statement** The purposes of the Fund are set out above. In the second year of operations the Trustees consider that reasonable progress has been made on achieving these objectives to the public benefit. As the country returns to a form of normality, the Trustees hope that a broader range of projects benefitting the parish and those closely involved in it will be supported. These aspirations will be constrained by the amount of financial support available from the operations of the Village Shop, and the results of any additional fundraising efforts. ## **Risks and mitigants** The Trustees maintain a Risk Register. No risks have been identified which cannot be managed, in the opinion of the Trustees ## **Data Protection** The Fund has protections in place, to ensure that confidential personal data is not retained for longer than is necessary for reporting and security purposes. The Food Bank supported by the Fund in its 2021-22 financial year did not provide the Fund with any personal details about the people or families they support, save to confirm that all beneficiaries fulfilled the geographical constraints of the Fund.
