## TRUSTEES’REPORT 

The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **Constitution & Objectives** 

The Trustees hold the funds of the Charity on trust to pay or apply the whole thereof to or towards or for the benefit of or in furtherance of such charitable purposes, institutions or foundations in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, and in such manner and proportions as the Trustees may from time to time in their absolute and uncontrolled discretion determine. 

## **Organisation** 

The Trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1.  The Board of Trustees have the power to appoint additional trustees at their discretion. 

## **Donations and grant making policy** 

The donations policy of the Trustees is to sponsor developments in medicine, education, social welfare and the arts.  Grants will also be made to fund projects to relieve distress and to promote the welfare of the aged and the young. 

The charity is particularly concerned with the funding of projects that are new and may require a number of years to establish.  In such cases the grant making activity will be related to the development phases of these projects. 

## **Financial review and investment policy** 

During the year the Trust had no income for the year due to the inactivity. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees will endeavour to distribute the net dividend and interest income of the Trust within 18 months of the end of the accounting period in which the income is received.  However if the Trustees have identified a specific high value project then funds may be retained to finance this. 

## **Risk management** 

Investments are held primarily in UK and overseas equities selected by the Trustees based on their assessment of the risk in terms of capital and income the Trust is prepared to accept in order to generate sufficient capital growth and income to achieve its objectives. 

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 2[nd] November 2023 and signed on its behalf by:
