You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about:

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

The trust was registered on 22 June 2021. Given the relative simplicity of the trust (structure, activities, unpaid trustees etc.) we have adopted a simple governance process in line with the Charity Commission guidelines. 

The Trust Deed is the primary governing document, supplemented by a Grant Making Policy (including risk assessment) and a simple conflicts of interest policy. 

- relationship with any related parties; 

- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

## **Section C                    Objectives and activities** 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

The objects of the charity ('the objects') are: For the public benefit to relieve sickness and mental illness in young people under the age of 21 in particular but not exclusively by: a. Providing grants to support the provision of advice and professional counselling; and b. Providing grants to support research into mental illness and ways of enhancing the mental health of young people under the age of 21. 

During the first year of charitable status the trustees prioritized establishing and embedding the appropriate governance processes (per the Trust Deed), the Grant Making Policy, and Conflict of Interest awareness / guidelines. 

The trustees did not know what to expect with regard to overall fundraising capability (quantum nor repeatability). The trustees were confident that the minimum of £5000 p.a. required to maintain charitable status would be achievable. Through the great support of family, friends, colleagues, and many other acquaintances the charity raised over £61,000 and incurred minimal expenditure (~£7500 on MWMT merchandize and securing 52 guaranteed charity entry places for the 2023 London Landmarks Half-Marathon). There were many events / activities held to raise money for the trust including: runs; swims; fashion shows; quizzes; cycle rides; triathlons and art exhibitions and the trust is incredibly grateful to all the organizers, participants, and supporters (News - Max Windle Memorial Trust, MWMT). 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

The trustees have deliberately taken time in deciding where to allocate funds in line with the objects. A guiding principle for the trustees is “line of sight” i.e., being able to see tangible benefits for any grants made, rather than providing support to the obvious major charities active in this area, such as Young Minds. The other factor the trustees want to ensure is “sustainability” i.e., the ability to fund multi-year programs / resources such that the impact of MWMT is enduring. 

The trust has received many requests for support, unfortunately the vast majority of which were not consistent with the objects of the charity. After much research we have decided to work closely with James’ Place (Registered Charity Number 1121891): 

- James’ Place saves the lives of men in suicidal crisis. 

- They are a charity offering free, life-saving treatment to suicidal men in our centres in Liverpool and London. 

- They stop men dying by suicide. Our professional therapists get quickly to the heart of a man’s suicidal crisis and help him solve it. 

- They are unique because their treatment is proven to work, quick to access and delivered in a safe, friendly, non-clinical environment by trained, professional therapists. 

- They have treated over 1,500 suicidal men since 2018, delivering over 7,500 therapy sessions. 

- They help men in suicidal crisis find hope for the future. 

The trustees were excited to announce (April 16[th] , 2023) that MWMT is providing support to James’ Place to scope out the expansion of their services for younger men (16-21) in suicidal crisis to help them find hope for the future. The Trust is providing a grant to James’ Place to enable

**MWMT TAR** 

April 26th, 2023 



them to understand the complexities of working with younger people and explore if, and how, they might offer their treatment to 16–21-year-olds. 

A detailed feasibility study had been commissioned and will be reviewed in the coming months. The cost of resourcing the expansion of these important and impactful services is material and would be a significant commitment for MWMT. The trustees are very hopeful that the expansion / extension to younger adults will be possible as this intervention is at the heart of the charity objects and is something that we feel very strongly about. 

MWMT trustees are assessing other support mechanisms / organizations in parallel and will strategically seek to support several such efforts. 

I can confirm that the trustees have read, discussed, and complied with the guidance / advice issued by the Charity Commission in regard to public benefit. 

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

As described above we have established, and follow, the MWMT Grant Making Policy (including risk assessment). 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

The trust has no paid staff, and the trustees are all volunteers. I am grateful to the trustees for their dedication and hard work. 

The trustees are grateful to all the many supporters of the charity. Awareness continues to grow of MWMT with the launch of the website and Instagram account (over 1200 followers) and we will continue to leverage these tools as awareness of Max’s story, alongside ongoing fundraising, is critically important to the trustees. 

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

These are already described, primarily in section C. After an incredible first year the scope and scale of what MWMT can achieve is much clearer and this will inform our strategy and activities going forward.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

The charity does not currently have a reserves policy. This will be **Brief statement of the** assessed in 2023-2024 depending on the type of funding commitments **charity’s policy on reserves** made and the enduring nature of these (as described above e.g., James’ Place). 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

None. 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

The charity’s principal sources of funds is sponsorship of events in support of MWMT (examples of which described above). These events vary in scale and raise differing amounts; gift aid is applied where possible. 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

   - The charity has minimal expenditure as the trustees are volunteers / unpaid. The charity has purchased a stock of event t-shirts which raise awareness and contribute to funds generating a small profit on sale to event participants. 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- The largest expenditure was to secure 52 charity places for the 2023 

- • investment policy and London Landmarks Half-Marathon, this upfront payment will result in a objectives including any minimum profit of £7000 as all entrants have a minimum fund-raising ethical investment policy target. adopted. 

   - All donations made by MWMT are consistent with the objects of the trust and are vetted against the MWMT Grant Making Policy (including risk assessment). Trust funds are currently held in an instant access Nat West Business account. 

## **Section F                     Other optional information** 

None.
