TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Indicators, Milestones and Benchmarks
The trustees are satisfied wrth their grant-making FX)licy during the past year. They have covered a wide spread of
charities and organi58tions 8nd. although significant monetsry grants have been made. it wll be seen from the
schedules that they have a policy of making many small 9rants to lo¢xl charitable activities. Alth(xJ9h small in
amount, these grants, in many instances, pfovide a vrtal sb"mulus for the charity workers involved. We are also
cognisant of the lact that a number ol local charities have, in a sense. become dependent upon the annual grants
from our trusts. Such charities have to provide us with ￿gUlar activity reports and details of their financial accounts.
Care is taken to ensure that previous grant monies have been expended for good purpose. Our charrties will
continue their close relationship wrth the Baylis Community CIC. which publishes The N8WSP8p8Tr. The trustees
8re cornrnitted to ensure that the unique relationship continues.
will conb'nue lo work dosely with The
Newspapers who provide an important souicè ol publiaty iegaiding our local gfants and Ihè Impad they have on
the communrty.
We trustees are conscious of our responsibilities under the EqualtyAcl 2010.
We acts'vely encourage applications for grants from all sections of the communities of Maidenhead, Wndsor,
Slough. Burnham. T¥￿f0rd, Marfow and Henley. We do not like to set benchmarks in ￿gard to what prcportion of
our grant monies are allocated lo particular needs groups 8tthough it is true lo say that the bulk ol our donations are
for the benefit of the elderfy, young and disadvantaged.
11 is not our general policy ¢0 make donations lo individuals however worthy those applicants may be. We do not
¢onfine our grants to other reglstered ¢harrtie$. Each application 1$ considered on rt$ merits. AFplications ar¥
generally dealt with at the two haff-yearfy meetings although the Ifustees have dunng the ¢our$e of the past perfod
related to the special neetjs ol local charities and made emergency grants as necessary.
The trustees have reviewed their gfant.maknng policy in I￿h1 ol Ihe Equalty Act 2010 and consider th8t it is
compliant with the Act. The trustees are satisfied thal their policy does not unlawfully discriminate against
applicants with protected characteristics or in 8ny way contravene the provisions ol the Equalty Act 2010. The
Iruslees are aware that the granl-making policy encourages applications from the Royal Borough of Windsor and
MaidÈnhÈad bul would highlight lh& lad th81 the gi¥ni mon*s ore 8Ho¢aled to 811 se¢tson$ of the communrty and
that èach grant is considèrèd on rts mèrits.
R•pr•8•ntatlon ol Othèr Bodl••
We are primarily local chariti'es and are not represented on wional or national bodies. The trustees do not see that
as their purpose.
Actlvltles and Events
We have had another successful period. and lh& IW$t￿ were pleased lo be able lo continue lo make grants and
donations at a level of £ 337,235 compared to £326.610 for the previous year from the Louis Baylis Imaidenhead
Advertiser) Charitable Trust.
As previously reported the past period ha5 been anolher extremety challenging one for The Newspapers. There
continues to be a strong trend of newspaper readers moving online as well a5 cJas5ified advertiser5 moving away
from print. To combat these changes Ihe newspaper h85 h8d to make some significant changes in staff ng. printing
8nd in the products themselves and continuousty looks at new opportunities to di¥Ètsify. Wrth this in mind the
addition of the Henley Standard will, we hope, strengthen the group overall. The trustees are confident that the
newspapers wll continue to flourish as a communrty interest company.
Grant maklng pollcy
We have already made reference in detail to the grnnts made and the grant-making polw of the trusts. The
trustees review the grant-making policy annualty to ensure rt remains appropriate lo the strategic direction of the
charities and its objects and thereby advances public benefit. To this end, the trustees annually review the trusts,
grant-rnaking procedures.

Investment policy
The Trusts. principal discretionary fund managers continue tr) be Ihe Rathbones Group plc and Quilter Cheviot
Limited. These Investment funds have similar investment objectives, attrtude to risk and performance benchmarks.
The trustees consider that as they have significant funds under discretionary management. the runniro of
portfolios in parallel gives them a useful opportunity to compare investment perfomiance.
The core objective wf(hin both portfolios is a balanced return betsyeen incJ)me and capital with medium risk. vith
time horizon in exces5 of ten ye8rs. The aim of the porlfolios 15 to build the c8pil81 of the charity in order to diversify
the asset base whilst still providing 8 level of income to support charitable purp05es. We have determined that the
performance of our portfolios over the long temi should be measured against CPI plus 3tsh to demonstrate whether
the portfolio has been maintaining rts real value. We have annual meetings with both sets ol investment advisors to
review asset allocation. investment slralegy. perfom)ance and benchmarks.

We meet regularty lo consider the suitsbility of the charitsble trusts. investrnenls and the merts of diversific8lion. In
addition to the investment portfolio, as discussed above, thè trustees hold the entire share capllal of Baylis Media
Limlted. There are risks In holding a signffjicanl weighting in a single investment lor which the trustees have been
rewarded by significant payments over the years by way ol grfl aid. 11 is a arcumstance of the charitable trust, but
our Trust Deed does not confer power to sell these shares. These shares in Baylis Media Limrted were transferred
