INTRODUCTION

The Trustees are pleased to present their report and audited accounts for the year ended 30[th] September 2024

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2005.

They deal with the transactions, assets and liabilities of the Isle of Ely Federation of Women’s Institutes.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Isle of Ely Federation represents the WI movement in the East Cambs and Fenland districts of Cambridgeshire. The Federation consists of 23 WIs representing a membership of 595 women. The Federation became a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) during 2021.

The role of the Board of Trustees is to co-ordinate and focus the activities of the Federation in order to further the purposes of the Women’s Institute movement in the Isle of Ely. Each WI is represented at the Annual Meeting, which provides an additional channel of communication.

The Federation is affiliated to the National Federation of Women’s Institutes and is governed by the WI constitution, copies of which can be obtained from the Federation Office or downloaded from the MyWI website.

Procedures for recruitment and appointment of trustees

The Board of Trustees consists of up to 15 members in total. Up to 12 members are elected biennially by the WIs and up to 3 members may be co-opted by the elected Trustees.

Any member who has at least 1 year’s membership is eligible to stand for election or co-option as a Trustee.

The Chairman, Treasurer and other Officers are elected annually by the Trustees from among their own number.

Policies and procedures for the training and induction of trustees

Following election, members of the Board receive training from NFWI.

Organisational structure of the Charity and how decisions are made

The Board meets 11 times a year. The Officers meet at least 4 times a year. The Treasurer is advised by an independent accountant. Much of the work of the Board is delegated to additional working committees with members of the Board of Trustees and members co-opted from WIs within the Federation. The committees include Membership and Leisure and Creative Skills.

The Board determines policy and strategy based on advice from its members and various working committees.

Day to day management is delegated to the Secretary who is accountable to the Board.

The following matters require Board approval:

Risk Management Policy

The Board regularly reviews the major risks facing the charity and ensures appropriate action is taken to mitigate the impact of risks where possible; a risk register is maintained and updated at least annually.

The principal risks that face the Federation include financial risks.

Financial risks are controlled through sound governance and robust financial control. Risks of a decline in membership and receipts from events are managed through proactive promotion and recruitment.

Objects

The objects of the Federation are to further the purposes of the Women’s Institute movement: To enable women who are interested in issues associated with rural life, including arts, crafts and sciences, to take an effective part in the improvement and development of the conditions of rural life: to advance their education in citizenship, in public questions both national and international, in music, drama, and other cultural subjects and to secure instruction and training for them in all branches of agriculture, handicrafts, home economics, health and social welfare. It gives to women the opportunity of working together through the Women’s Institute organisation and of putting into practice those ideals for which it stands.

Activities

The Federation supports, assists and advises WIs to provide an effective programme for the delivery of the objects. It promotes women’s concerns and interests by providing a forum within which members’ views shape policy and strategy and it represents member’s views to the National Federation and local and national government. The Federation provides information, training and education services to members.

Strategies

The key elements of the Federation’s medium to long-term strategy are to:

  1. Offer a wide range of learning opportunities in a variety of settings, making available training in the widest sense, encouraging personal development, promoting lifelong learning and ensuring traditional skills are preserved.

  2. Encourage WI members to adopt healthier, more sustainable lifestyles by supporting activities in the areas of sport and leisure, the sciences and combined arts.

  3. Increase the WIs influence on legislators, opinion formers and the public at large with regard to politically and socially important local, national and international issues and to maintain the WIs position as a respected voice of reason, integrity and intelligence.

4.

Principal Objectives for the year ended 30[th] September 2024

The Federation’s principal objectives were:

Achievements and Performance

Education, training and learning

Campaigning

The Board continues to monitor ongoing NF campaigns.

Communication with members

The Federation Newsletter is issued on ten occasions each year. Because it is produced in- house, topical items can be included easily. It is now also emailed to WIs for onward transmission to their members.

Board members are encouraged to attend Federation events and visit local WIs. They also accepted invitations to attend Annual Meetings of other Federations.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

General Fund

This fund is unrestricted and is used for all charitable purposes without restriction in accordance with the governing documents.

Funds in Deficit

There are no funds in deficit.

Investment Policy

The Federation’s investments are managed by the Board of Trustees, who takes expert advice ensuring that investments are ethical. Monthly reports are received at Board meetings.

Reserves Policy

The Federation requires reserves to allow it to continue to work to promote the interests of women in accordance with WI objectives. The reserves policy is reviewed annually by the Board.

The Trustees policy is to hold sufficient free reserves:

  1. To meet its working capital requirements, particularly given that the majority of membership subscription income is received in April/May each year and Type to enter text 2. To mitigate the impact of risks; the amount required being based on the risk assessment and calculated in relation to cover each risk and the likelihood of that risk occurring. On that basis the total free reserves requirement is estimated to be equivalent to 4 months. At September 2024 the actual free reserves were £60,660.81

FUTURE PLANS

The Federation’s medium to long-term plan is kept under review and adjusted to meet changing needs and the extent to which needs have been met in previous periods.

The principle objectives for the coming year are:
