KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA DISTRICT NURSING TRUST

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

The Trustees present their report together with the financial statemenis of the Charity for the year ended 31st March 2023. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the Charities Act 2011, the requirements of the Charity's governing document and with the provisions of ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities': Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1* January 2015.

Structure, governance and management

The Charity was set up by order L2/210931 of the Charity Commissioners on 7th November 1974 (as amended on 21st January 2002) and continues to be governed by the said Trust Instrument.

According to clause 19 of the Trust instrument the income of the Charity must be applied in pursuance of the Charity's main objects. This is subject to the Charity having firstly discharged the administrative and management expenses for the year (clause 17} and any pensions or grants payable in cases of need to retired persons who were formerly employed by the Charity (clause 18).

According to clause 20, the Trustees may not apply income directly in relief of rates, taxes or other public funds but may apply income in supplementing relief or assistance provided out of public funds. They are also prevented from committing themselves to repeat or renew the relief granted an any occasion in any case. The following general restrictions also apply to the Trust:-

  1. The appropriation of income of the Charity can only be made by Trustees at meetings of their body. In exceptional circumstances the Chair may authorise a grant for an individual, to be ratified thereafter at the next meeting of the Trustees.

  2. Trustees are not entitled to receive remuneration or be interested in the supply of any work or goods at the cost of the Charity.

Appointment of Trustees

The terms of the Trust instrument require future Trustees to be appointed by a resolution passed at a special meeting of Trustees of which not less than 21 days’ notice is required. Each appointed Trustee is to serve for a period of five years and must declare willingness to act as Trustee of the Charity by signing a declaration of acceptance in the minute book. No Trustee will be appointed to serve for more than two consecutive terms. A Trustee must not be re-appointed within one year of the end of his or her second term. The Trustees may in exceptional circumstances appoint a Trustee to serve for a third consecutive term.

induction and training

Trustees are chosen according to their experience, and it is ensured that the Board is made up of a balance of expertise appropriate to the needs of the Trust. From time to time Trustees draw on their talents to share their expertise with the others. On occasion this may happen in order to make a specific decision about grant giving.

KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA DISTRICT NURSING TRUST

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

All the Trustees read the Charities Commission’s leaflets on the duties of Trustees, especially with regard to legal issues and the skills register. The Clerk ensures that Trustees have sufficient information about organisations with which the Trust is in touch, particularly concerning their financial affairs, before decisions are made.

Management

At the half yearly Trustees’ meetings, the Trustees agree on a broad strategy and area of activity for the Charity, including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day-to-day administration of grants and processing and the handling of applications is delegated to the Clerk to the Trustees.

The Trustees who served during the year under review were as follows:-

Mr R Baker {resigned 12 July 2022}

Mrs C David Mrs G Falkus DrA Hamilton Mr P Kraus Mrs C Yardley Mrs W Roberts Mr R O'Callaghan (appointed 14 June 2022) Ms N Child (appointed 14 June 2022)

Risk policy

Since the Trust does not undertake fund-raising activities, its chief risk is bound up with its investments, their value and their generation of income. The Trustees recognise this and regularly review and monitor the performance the Trust’s investment portfolio in order to reduce as far as possible exposure to potential losses, and to improve growth.

Objectives and activities

Summary of the main activities of the Charity in relation to its objects

The objects of the Trust are to relieve cases of need amongst persons resident in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or in the adjacent area who are sick, convalescent, disabled, handicapped or infirm.

Public Benefit

The Charity Commission in its Charities and Public Benefit Guidance requires that there are two key principles to be met to show that an organisation’s aims are for the public benefit. Firstly, there must be an identifiable benefit. Secondly, the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public.

3

KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA DISTRICT NURSING TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

Public Benefit

The Trustees confirm that in setting the Charity’s objectives and in planning its activities, they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives. The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity has met the requirements of the public benefit guidance

Main activities undertaken by the Trust to further its charitable purpose for the public benefit

As in previous years, the main activities of the Trust to further its charitable purpose for the public benefit were:

Grant policy

The Trustees continue to award grants after careful consideration of each application and to ensure that such awards meet the stated objectives of the Charity as detailed above.

Joint Chairs’ review (including achievements and performance delivered for the public benefit)

The Trustees have carried on meeting in person thanks to the generosity of Dr Hamilton who once again offered her living room for the purpose. In July 2022 the Trustees accepted the resignation of Mr R Baker. The Trustees thanked him for all his support since 2004. In June 2022 Mr R O'Callaghan and Ms N Child were appointed. Mr O’Callaghan is a journalist who has volunteered in RBKC and Ms Child is a local resident with extensive volunteering experience in the area.

Our grants to individuals amounted to £60,791 this year, divided among 141 people which is a smaller amount divided among more recipients than the previous year. Last year the Trust gave £63,087 to 136 people. This is despite a significant rise in the cost of electrical appliances and furniture. Waste disposal and connection costs have also increased. The Trustees have been very mindful of the restricted funds available to them and have continued to limit awards made to any one individual or family. It was noticeable again this year that most applicants now cite mental rather than physical disabilities as the reason they are struggling financially.

Ongoing financial uncertainty in the UK and overseas, has led the Trust again to concentrate its resources on grants to individuals rather than the organisations who were previously supported. This decision has been discussed twice over the course of the year and will be kept under review subject to the cash balances of the Charity.

KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA DISTRICT NURSING TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

Financial review

As in previous years the Charity’s revenue derived mainly from interest and dividends received from its investment portfolio. For the year under review the value of our investments fell in overall terms by £62,630. The decrease was mainly due to the downturn in the global economy (including the cost of living and energy crisis). The value of the portfolio is significantly more than the original cost of the investments held.

Expenses were again kept under control in the year under review. The Charity generated a net surplus on general funds of £7,368 (2022: £15,276). The surplus is stated after adjusting for both realised and unrealised losses (£4,842) relating to the investment portfolio. The permanent endowment fund shows a deficit of £57,675 arising in the year (2022: surplus £287,583) and this too is stated after adjusting for losses, both realised and unrealised, on the investment portfolio.

At the year- end date, the Charity held £158,797 in general funds and £2,299,904 in the permanent endowment fund.

The Trustees are confident that the Charity remains in a secure financial position.

Investment policy

The Trustees’ policy over their investments is that they should achieve a maximum current income consonant with the intention that, in the longer term, the income stream must increase by at least the rate of inflation. To do this, the Trustees, together with their investment advisers, will continue to monitor the Trust’s portfolio.

Reserves policy

The Trustees regularly monitor the level of income reserves available to ensure that the Charity is able to discharge its administrative costs as well as give donations that are affordable. The Trustees also consider the level of reserves held at any given moment should be sufficient to cover exposure to any significant unforeseen loss of income and to ensure the short-term liquidity and long-term financial stability of the Charity. The policy would also allow the Charity time to consider and respond to its responsibilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year, were as follows:-

1.1 Basis of Accounting

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1st January 2015), The Charities Act 2011 and applicable regulations.

1.2 Going Concern

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern.

The Trustees have assessed the impact the downturn in the global economy {including the cost of living and energy crisis) may have on the Charity's forecast and projections and have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approving these financial statements.

The Trustees have concluded that the Charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and consequently it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

1.3 Income

a) The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods. b) The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under gift aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

All incoming resources are reported gross before expenses.

1.4 Resources expended

Grants payable are payments to third parties in furtherance of the Charity's objects. Grants are accounted for when the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant unless it is conditional. Provision for grants is made if the Trustees have conveyed their intention to the recipient.

Resources expended include VAT which cannot be recovered.
