| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The initial aims were to set up the charity in line with Ms Hirst’s will and testament and to register as a charitable trust; creating policies and procedures to support the ongoing work of the trust. As Ms Hirst’s will was still in probate throughout the first year of operation, only part of the capital was transferred to the Trust in its first year. The monies were used to set up some initial investments and to pay |
| the expenses associated with setting up the Trust. The trustees focused on setting up the legal documents, systems, required policies and the investment strategy in the first year. For these reasons the Trustees did not make any grants in the first year of operation. |

Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | This is the first year of the new trust, and the estate was still in probate. The monies were released in small amounts and the trust was still waiting for much of the money to be to be transferred. The trustees did not have enough income from the new investments to make any grants in its first year. There were additional legal and financial costs in the first year for setting up the new charity. The trust aims to maintain the value of the capital in real terms and disburse the reminder of the capital once expenses are paid. The trustees have made initial contact with suitable charities in South Yorkshire. The trust received over twenty applications in the first year but none met the criteria as set out in the trust deed and registration. |

Grant making criteria 2024
Criteria for decisions about Grants from the Elizabeth Nicola Hirst Charitable Trust
The trustees will review all applications against the purposes of the Trust. At least two trustees will approve any application.
The Trustees may agree to provide a grant covering more than one year, e.g. to access a multi-year course.
Grants are available within South Yorkshire for the following purposes: Improving access, facilities and activities for disabled people, in particular
-
1 providing grants towards courses in fashion for disabled people, particularly for aids or adjustments to improve accessibility;
-
2 providing grants towards courses in accessible clothing and fashion for use by disabled people
In addition monies may be available for:
3 such institutions who can assist with the provision of grants for holidays, for named disabled people and their carers, such disabled people residing within the South Yorkshire area.
Remaining monies in each year which are not added back into capital* may be distributed to: 4 Motability of Warwick House, Roydon Road, Harlow, Essex, CM19 5PZ, Registered Charity Number 299745, or
- 5 Cancer Research of 2 Redman Place, London E20 1JQ
Where more valid applications are received within a financial year than monies available then the applications will be ranked in the following order:
-
1) any multi-year funding previously agreed
-
2) urgent need
-
3) date of applications within the relevant year
People with disabilities will be eligible provided they have a chronic health condition or disability expected to last at least six months.
The trustees will require either proof of a disability benefit or medical evidence.
The trustees do not expect to provide grants to under 18 year olds as schools already receive central government funding for children with special education needs and disabilities.
- The Trustees aim to keep the capital sum at least to the equivalent amount in real terms based on the initial bequest.

Annex to Grant making criteria
Definition of disability - the Equality Act 2010
A person is counted as disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if they have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on their ability to do normal daily activities. An exception to this is a person with severe disfigurement. The Act also provides protection for non-disabled people who are subjected to direct discrimination or harassment because of their association with a disabled person. The Act covers:
-
sensory impairments, such as those affecting sight or hearing
-
impairments with fluctuating or recurring effects such as rheumatoid arthritis, myalgic encephalitis (ME), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, depression and epilepsy • progressive, such as motor neurone disease, muscular dystrophy, and forms of dementia
-
auto-immune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE)
-
organ specific, including respiratory conditions, such as asthma, and cardiovascular diseases, including thrombosis, stroke and heart disease
-
developmental, such as autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), dyslexia and dyspraxia
-
learning disabilities
• mental health conditions with symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, panic attacks, phobias, or unshared perceptions; eating disorders; bipolar affective disorders; obsessive compulsive disorders; personality disorders; post traumatic stress disorder, and some selfharming behaviour
-
mental illnesses, such as depression and schizophrenia
-
produced by injury to the body, including to the brain
However, the Act talks about ‘reasonable adjustments’, which may limit the amount of money required to be spent or the scope of adjustments. The understanding of what may be reasonable for different entities or different businesses therefore been clarified through case law but it is not absolute. So, for example, a person with unique complex health conditions that require round the clock care will have funding to support those needs at home or in a care setting but will rarely find at public events the level of support at same degree.
