The financial slatements have been prepared In accordance with the aOUntIng pollcies set out in note note.note01 to the financial statem8nts and comply Mlh the Gharity's goveming polifies. the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting an.d Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Ptaclice applicable to charities preparing their accounts In accordance with the Financial Reporting Stsndard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). (effective 1 January 2019). Objectives and activities Our charitable objecllve is set out in our Trust Deed of 22 June 2023.. The objects of the CIO are to further such charitable purposes as the trustees shall from time to lime in their absolute discretion selecL Charitable activities This section refers only to the charity and its activities and not to the trading subsidiary. The charity fuffilled its obligations during the period with grants and donalions being made to local charities in th8 sum of £3,080. During the period iwo organisations beneffted from the charity. The newspaper provldes the Trustees with an extensive annual report in regard to rts charitable activities with particular reference as to how local joumafJsm supports the charitable purpose of prowding a public benefit. Indicators, milestones and benchmarks The trustees are satisfied with their grant-making poficy during the past year.They have covered a wide spread of charities and organisations and. although SIgn¢ant monetary grants have been rnade. it will be seen from the schedule that they have a policy of making many small grants to local charitable acliirities. Although small in amount, these grants, in many instances, provide a vital stimulus for Ihe tharity workers involved. We are also cognisant of the fact that a number of local Charities have. in a sense, become dependent upon the annual grants from our trust. Such charilies have to provide us with regular aclivity reports and details of Iheir financial accounts. Care is taken to ensure that previous grant monies have been expended for good purpose. Our Gharity will continue its close relationship with the Baylis Community CIC, which publishes The Newspapers. The Trustees are cammitted to ensure that the unique relationship continues. We will conllnue to work closely with The Newspapers who provide an importanl source of publicty regarding our local grants and the impact they have on the community. We trustees are conscious of our responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010. We activety encourage applic2lions for grants from all seotions of the communities of Maidenhead, Windsor. Slough, Burnham, Twytord and Marfow. We do not like to set benchmarks in regard to what proportion of our grant monies are allocated to parlicular needs groups although it is true to say that the bulk of our donations are for the benefit of the elderly, young and disadvantaged. It is not our general pofiGy to make donations to individua]s however worthy those appficants may be. We do not confine our grants to other registered charities. Each application is considered on its merils. Applications are generally dealt with at the two half-yearly meetings although the trusiees have during the course of the past perrod reacted to the special needs of local charities and made emergency grants as necessary. The trustees have reviewed their grant-making policy in fight of the Equality Act 2010 and consider that it IS compliant with the Act. The trustees are satisfied that their policy does not unlawfulty discriminate against applicants wth protected characleristlcs or in any way contravene the provisions of the Equality Act 2010. The tnjslees are aware that the grant-making policy encourages applications from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead but would highlight the fact that the grant monies are allocated to all se¢llons of the communty and that each grant is considered on its merits.
THE LOUIS BAYLIS CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES.

T.here'contlnues to.be a strong trend of newspaper readers movtng online a5 well as ckssffi8d 2thrtISerS movirfrg away from print. To combat these changes the newspaper has had to make some significant changes in staffing, printing and in th& products Ihemselves and continuously looks al new opportunFties to diversify.

Ihe expected investment income Ihat will be generated from these investments going forwards, the Trustees are Confident Ihat they have sufficient cash reserves to enable to meet liabslities as they fall due. Grant-maklng We have already made referen in detail to thé grants made and the grant-tnaking policy of the trust. The trustees view the grant-making policy annualty to ensure it remains appropriate to the strategic direction of the charity and its objects and thereby advances public benefiL To this end. the trustees annually review the trust's grant-making procedures.

THE LOUIS BAYLIS CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 Investment policy The Trusts prtncipal discretionary fund managers continue to be Investec Wealth & Investment (UK) Limited (now part of the Ralhbones Group Plc) and Quilter Cheviot Limiled. These investrnent funds have similar investment objectives, attitude to risk and Performan benchmarks. The Trustees consSder that as they have significant funds under discretionary management. the Tunning of Iwo porttolios in parallel gives Ihern a usefvl opportunity to compare investment perforrnan. The core objedive within both portfolios is a balanwl retum betsveen income and capital with medium risk, with lime horlzon in excess of ten years. The aim of the portfofios 15 to build the capital of the charity in order to diversify the asset base whilst still providlng a level of income lo support charttable purpose5.

We Meet regularly to consider the suitsbility of the charttable trusys investments and the rnerits of diversification. In addition lo Ihe investment portfolio. as discussed above. the trustees hold the entirelssued share capital of Baylis Media Limited. There are risks in holding a significant weighting in a single investment for which the trustees have been rewarded by significant payments over the years by way of glft ald. It is a cirGumstance of the charitable tmst but our Trust Deed does not confer power to sell these shares. However. we are aware of our respon5ibiltty to secure the fullest benefit that we can from this holding. Durtng the perrod we met regularly with the board of Baylis Media Limited to consider its performan, which for the year to 30 June 2024 has been challenging glven the difficult market ctrcumstances in which the company is trading at the present time.

Charitable Trust was established by a Trust Deed dated 31 March 1962 and was the predecessor to Ihe Louis Baylis Charitable Trust.

Clause 2 of the Trfust Deed directs the trusiees to hold their invesfment in Baylls Media Limtted (the "Companfl on trust to apply income in perpetuty for such charitable purposes as they shall. from time to time. in their absolute discretion, select. The company on 1 st March and 5th MaTch 2006, in pursuance of resolutions dated 25th October 2005 made capit donations to the charity, thereby broadening and supplementing the trustees, powers of administration of the assets of the charity. The trustees. have power lo administer the 21x16 donations as a separate and unrestricted fund alongside the charity's permanent endowment. The trustees must apply the Income and may supplement that by expending capital from the fund for the above described charitable purposes. The cornpany in December 2007 and January 2008 in pursuance of resolutions dated 13 September 2007 made additional capital donations. One donation went to the establishment of a pem)anent endowment fund for the charity and gave the Irustees the discretion to accumulate income. Another went to enlarge the expendable endowment fund established in 2006, giving the trustees the discretion to convert to income. These funds are also held for the above described charitable purposes. On 30 June 2022 the company transferred the newspaper business to Baylis Community Media CIC (registered number 14107804). This was after careful consideration of the matter by the directors of the company, who considered that the newspaper business managed by the company could be more convenienlly managed and operated by a Community Interest Company. The objects of the CIC are to Cary on activities which benefit the community and in partiCLtlar (wlthout limitation) to benefrt the comrnunities of Maidenhead. Slough.

THE LOUIS BAYLIS CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES. REPORT {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 Organisational structure The overall Strategic direction of the charity is deteined by the trustees who meet formally at least four tlmes a year to consider and further develop the trus¥s objectives. At these meetings grant applications are considered and grants made. During the course of any period the trustees have a number of ad hoc meetings to consider AT#eMergency grant applications and any other important administrative k8sues which need to be dealt with. The trustees do not delegate their authorrty in Tegard to grant decisions and personally ¢onsider all the submissions made and make their determinations accordingly. Our part-time administrator deals with a significant portion of the grant appllcation review process, parbcularly in regard to smaller grant applications whi¢h the trustees do encourage. Our websile and the relevant links to The Newspapers have enhanced our profile in the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead which is Ihe prtncipal area which we seek to benefft with our donations. The trust is focused on the long-tem goal of social progress and is Gommitted to making a real difference to the fortunes and ives of the inhabitants of the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. Indeed. the trust's objects extend beyond the Royal Borough and grants and donations to national charities are considered. Grants are made to national and regional charities. although applicants should undersland that it is still the trustees, poficy to make a greater proportion of Its grant monies available to local chariti&s and organisations. The trustees have no need to create sUb0mMitteeS although the wotk of our part-time administrator does lead lo streamlining the grant applications procedures and. indeed, facilitates ease of access for applicants. Method of recruitmenl appointmen( election. induction and training of trustses The statutory power to appoint new and additionat trustee5 contained in the Constitution applies to Ihe charity and is exercisable by the trustees. This is nol a national charity- it is not involved in fundraising and its priFne objeclive is thal of grant-making. It does not, therefore, need an exlensive board of Irustees. The trustees are aware of their responsibilities under the Charities Act 2022. They confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's revised public benefrt guidance when reviewing the trust's aims .and objectives and in planning future activtlies and setting the grant-making policy for the period. We will keep under continuous review the question of recruitrnent, appointment, election, indudion and training of trustees and ensure that we.trustees keep up to date in regard to the changing world of charity law and administration. The charity has a wholly owned trading subsidiary Baylis Media Limlied, whose results are consolidated in the financial statements for the trust. The principle activity of Baylis Media Ltd up to June 30th 2022 is that of newspaper proprietors and subsequently a property inveslment company. The company, in addition to the newspapers. wholly owns 0 subsidiary undertakings, both of which are dormant and a participating interest in Thames Valley Independent Media Ltd. The vo subsidiaries and the participating interest have been transferred to the CIC. With effect 30 June 2022, the newspaper business was transferred to the Baylis Community Media CIC. The intellectual property rights of the newspapers have been retained by Baylis Media Ltd and linCed to the CIC. Risk and corporate governance matters As detailed earlier in the report the newspaper business has been transferred to the Baylls Community CIC. Our chairman, Peter Sands. is a member of the CIC.
