## **Annual Report to Charity Commissioners: 2022** 

The Governors of the Haslingfield United Charities have continued to perform their statutory  function  of acting  as  Trustees  of the  Education  Fund (Reg. No.311371) and Managers of the funds for the Church Charity, (Reg. No.265934) the Poor’s Charity (Reg.No. 265935). The two very small Charities, Barber’s Charity (Reg.No.311388) and the Clock Lands Charity are also administered by the Governors of the parent Charity. 

All of the income of the Education Fund derives from the rental of the school house and investment income, which together with the greater part of the school premises and site, is owned by the Charity. For some years the Trustees have maintained a reserve fund to meet specific needs within the school which cannot be met from LEA funding. Needs vary from year to year. Each year the Trustees also present each child who is leaving the school with a copy of the Pocket Oxford Dictionary containing a specially designed and individually inscribed bookplate. In addition, the Trustees invite applications each year from young people in the village for grants to meet part of the expenses incurred in educational projects and associated activities, costs associated with attending for interview for courses of further education and for those seeking apprenticeships and other forms of industrial training. The young people are required to submit a brief account of his or her reasons for their application. Small grants are also offered for young persons under 18 who engage in educational and character-building  activities  e.g.  Duke  of  Edinburgh  Awards  and  Voluntary  Service Organisations. Grants are also made to students towards the cost of books and equipment needed for educational courses and activities and industrial training courses. 

In 1999 the executors of the late Mr James Wisbey, a former resident of the village, requested that the Governors of the United Charities should manage a bequest of £25,000 from Mr Wisbey’s will. Mr Wisbey wished this sum to be used to set up the ‘Alice and James Wisbey Fund’ for the benefit of the village school. In view of Mr Wisbey’s profession as a builder, his executors asked that the proceeds from the fund be used for improvements to the structure and fittings of the school buildings and its grounds rather than for educational materials. The bequest was placed in the hands of the Charities financial advisers Brown Shipley, to be managed in a similar way to the assets of The Education Fund. 

The income for the Church Charity derives entirely from its capital investments and in the terms of the bequest is dedicated to the upkeep of the “Church tower and the steeple thereof” and only if this need is satisfied, for other purposes in the Church. Part of the income and growth of the fund have already been used, the balance remaining invested until the next stage of work. 

The Poor’s Fund, has very seldom met the original intention of relieving real poverty but it has been used to support vulnerable members of the community during the COVID pandemic when the need has arisen in the village. 

The  Trustees  of  Haslingfield  United  Charities  (HUC)  were  approached  by  the Trustees of the Haslingfield Community Warden Scheme (HCWS) in March 2022 as they wished to discuss the closure of the HCWS and the potential transfer of their residual assets to the Haslingfield United Charities. Representatives of the two charities met during 2022 culminating in the Trustees of the HCWS deciding to transfer their residual assets to HUC with a view to those funds being combined with the Poor’s Fund to create a Haslingfield 

2 



Community Fund. The HCWS funds were transferred to the HUC account at the end of December 2022 and will reside there until the 19[th] Century governing document for the Poor’s fund has been reviewed and, with the Charity Commission’s approval, revised to create the new Haslingfield Community Fund. 

Both the Trustees of the Church Charity and the Poor’s Charity on behalf of whom funds are managed, have for many years been represented as full Governors of the Parent Charity. The Clerk to the Governors of the United Charities also acts as Clerk in matters concerning the subsidiary charities, for example in convening the annual meeting of the Trustees of the Poor’s Charity. 

The income  of the Barber’s Charity is negligible.   The original  bequest which provided for a cash prize from the income from the invested capital for proficiency in recitation of the Catechism has long been inapplicable to current times. 

As the Trustees of the HCWS have closed their Charity and transferred the funds to HUC the HUC Trustees have decided not to continue with the 2021 proposal to merge the Barber Charity and the Poor’s Charity. 

The HUC Trustees have reviewed that proposal and decided that the funds transferred from the HCWS should be merged with the existing Poor’s Fund to create one new Charity to serve vulnerable members of the Community. 

The  Charity  Commission  are  to  be  approached  with  a  view  to  closing  the anachronistic Barber’s Fund and to transfer any residual funds in that Charity into the Education Fund. 

The Clock Lands Charity owns about 1 acre of meadowland in the village that offers no income or fund raising capability.
