## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)**
|You**may choose**to include
additional information, where
relevant, about:
policies and procedures adopted
for the induction and training
of trustees;
the charity’s organisational
structure and any wider
network with which the charity
works;
relationship with any related
parties;
trustees’ consideration of major
risks and the system and
procedures to manage them.|The charity’s main object was to create and install a statue of Emily
Wilding Davison in Epsom was achieved in 2021. The charity has some
legacy issues to complete concerning maintenance of the website and the
installation of a QR code on the statue to enable visitors to be pointed to
the website. There is also a dispute to resolve concerning a payment to a
former trustee and a claim made by the local council to pay the current
balance in the charity’s bank account to the Council.
The trustees are agreed that the most reliable way in which the objects of
the charity can be continued in maintaining the website and promoting
awareness and research and education is to dissolve the charity and pass
its money to the active local charity The Friends of Horton Cemetery that
is currently researching the lives of thousands of women who iced and
died and were buried in a paupers’ graveyard in Epsom during the era of
Emily Davison’s activism for women rights.
The Charity needs to resolve the aforementioned issues first.|
