THE NETHERLANDS BENEVOLENT SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Society's objective is to render assistance to Dutch citizens in need, living in the UK, irrespective of race or religion. Assistance is given to others in the UK if they are surviving widows or widowers of Dutch nationals, or children with at least one parent of Dutch nationality. Assistance is provided in circumstances such as illness, mental stress, an emergency, old age, poverty and generally, where an acute need of any kind exists or the opportunity presents itself for the improvement of conditions of life where these are considered as below acceptable level. It can take one or more of the following forms;
-
(1) Advice and comfort to those eligible for assistance by means of counselling by the Social Work Coordinator.
-
(2) The granting of a periodic payment or a one-time cash payment.
-
(3) The granting of a loan.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Society's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Dear Friend of the Koning Willem Fonds,
Each year always brings a unique set of challenges yet nonetheless 2021 was, for the second year running, more remarkable and demanding than most in the Charity's recent history. Applicant numbers once again remained high so I start this letter by thanking the Charity's Trustees, the Events Coordinator and our Social Work Coordinator especially for the invaluable input they have given throughout another busy year. I am delighted to also report most of the tasks we set ourselves for the year were achieved so that the Charity should be more operationally effective to help those disadvantaged and in need in the decade ahead.
The specific challenges of Covid with its long and compounding economic and social tentacles, led us to set up a Corona Fund at the start of 2021. The fund was specifically geared towards 'non-typical' applicants; for example, those working in the hospitality or music industry who normally could be said to enjoy a reasonable standard of living, but for Covid. We felt that this tied in with our ethos of providing 'a helping hand in time of need'. (In total some 23 payments were made to people who applied to the Corona Fund looking for financial help with their monthly outgoings.)
During my ten years at the KWF as Trustee, Treasurer, and Chair, I have witnessed subtle changes in the composition of our typical applicant, although no case could ever be considered typical. I thought it might be interesting to look back at caseload numbers at that time, and caseload types, and compare this with the cases of today.
It is interesting to note how prevalent payday loan company problems were in 2011, as opposed to now. Many applicants then borrowed monies without realising the high interest charges they had signed up to. The Charity also discovered that often no proper income checks had been initiated by the lender and because of this lack of lending transparency, we sometimes would refer cases to the Financial Ombudsman. In 2021 this problem has completely dropped away because of better financial regulation protecting the more vulnerable in society. In 2011 caseload numbers were close to 40 per annum; in the past few years we have receive between 90 to 100 applicants per annum. Technology and the impact of both Brexit and Covid explain this surge.
| Caseload Comparative | 2021 | 2011 |
|---|---|---|
| Annual enquiries | 82 | 39 |
| Cases Supported | 60% | 51% |
| LongTerm Beneficiaries | 2 | 6 |
Figures for 2021 exclude the 23 Corona Fund payments.
Back in 2011 the Charity adopted a new strategy, which we hoped would improve our ability and efficacy in providing finances to applicants, by introducing the use of supermarket vouchers. These vouchers meant critical monies were more speedily available to those where 'need' had been identified by Trustees. Now some ten years later, supermarket vouchers have become the main artery used to provide funds to applicants, and indeed accounts for almost half of our yearly 'giving' total. Due to the success of this scheme we decided last year to set up a commercial account with our chosen voucher provider. This means rather than just sourcing vouchers from one supermarket, we now can do this across the entire range of UK supermarkets. The Charity also continues to focus on delivering practical help to applicants where possible, i.e. by accompanying them to embassy appointments for new passports, or helping source baby clothes and equipment. In one instance in 2021 the Charity helped an applicant receive a significant payout after making an asbestosis claim, following the death of the family's main income earner from this disease.
With the rise in case load numbers we have seen in recent years the Charity decided to reorganise the officer roles amongst its Trustee members. Notable is the choice of 'Job sharing' (between two Trustees) for both the Honorary Treasurer and the Honorary Secretary positions. Looking ahead the Charity may need to assess if additional support staff is required to help our Social Work Coordinator. This is not only a reflection of higher numbers, but also because the length of time of our involvement with a typical case. For instance in 2021 we finally signed off on one applicant who the Charity has been supporting for some 5 years. Obviously this is exceptional, but there is no denying the cases we help are often complex, requiring multiple strategies which take time to embed, and this longer time represents a cost.

THE NETHERLANDS BENEVOLENT SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
So after ten years of my involvement with the Charity my message is primarily that caseload numbers have doubled and are increasingly complex. In order to cope with this, we have taken a number of steps to share this extra responsibility almost the trustee team. Whilst our financial position remains strong, sponsorship and donation income has not kept up with the increased demand for help. Clearly the Koning Willem Fonds has had to draw down from its capital reserves to finance the work it does. Through the course of 2021 the investment fund realised a profit of £15,180 and received dividend income of £31,686 along with a gain in investment value of £78,335 during the year leading to a total return (realised and unrealised) on investment of 11%.
The past year has been full of uncertainty for everyone. Going through a pandemic with little financial security, without a stable roof over your head, or having to deal with ill health or bereavement, made 2021 extra challenging for our applicants. Price rises, the end of government support schemes, and changes to benefits mean that for many, the immediate outlook remains worrying. The small acts of kindness the KWF can offer, often goes a long way. I promise that the entire amount of any contribution you make, will all be spent on needy applicants. The recent rise in energy prices and other cost of living items means demand for our help through the course of 2022 is likely to remain high.
We very much hope in 2022 we may see a return to a more normal year, enabling us to undertake fund-raising events where we hope once again to be able to meet our friends such as yourself. Lastly I want to express my thanks to you, our donors, for helping us to make a difference to the lives of those who come to the Charity for help.

FACT SHEET
TO PROVIDE HELP TO DUTCH CITIZENS IN NEED, WHO ARE RESIDENT IN THE UK.
Our applicants have often tried and failed to access help elsewhere so that by the time they reach us their personal situation can be very urgent.
A small handful of applicants receive a regular monthly pension from the Charity to help with living costs.
A significant proportion of our applicants are single mothers.
A significant proportion of our applicants have mental health issues.
Many people find the burden of modern bureaucracy onerous which impedes the provision of satisfactory financial and emotional support.
Our Philosophy
-
To actively listen to every applicant's life story
-
To visit as many applicants as possible
-
To provide a collective and considered strategy of help
Our Finances & Operations
-
We have a small investment fund
-
We receive no corporate sponsorship
-
We rely on private donor generosity
-
We employ one Social Work Coordinator
-
The Board of 14 Trustees meet monthly, giving their time and input free of charge
This is how Donor gifts allow the KWF to support its applicants.
£20 - pays for passport photo costs. Some 5-10 people per annum cannot afford the cost of a new passport, or indeed the travel cost to London.
£50 - pays for 1 weeks' worth of food vouchers. In any given year supermarket vouchers accounts for half the monies spent by the Charity.
£100 - pays for a warm coat with waterproof shoes.
SOCIAL WORK REPORT
2021 Social Work Graphs
In 2021 we received 82 enquiries, less than the previous year, but still significantly higher than in the pre-2019 period, when the average number of enquiries was 48.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Besides applications to the main KWF fund, an additional 23 payments (worth £ 100 each of supermarket vouchers) were made from the Corona Fund which ran from January to July 2021.
Our applicants come to us by a variety of routes such as referrals by other Charities or information via the Dutch Embassy or friends, but the vast majority come to us via internet searches; in particular the Turn2Us website with grant finder application. A quarter of those who apply have applied before but are still in need of further support. The Corona Fund was advertised via Facebook and the KWF Website, so all those applications came via that route and are excluded from the table below.

Half of all applicants are under 40; those who have not had a solid start in life or those with young families to support. A key factor for this group is that they are often in single person/single parent households, without the support of family or a second earner.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT LEGAL STATUS
The Charity is governed by statutes as revised in 1961 and registered with the Charity Commissioners under charity number 213032. The Statutes have been amended in subsequent years, the latest being on 29th May 2002.
GUIDELINES
The Board of Trustees, in consultation with the Social Work Coordinator, decides what assistance can be given. The Board will, in general, give priority to applications made by vulnerable people and those facing an emergency. The Social Work Coordinator sends out the application form, checks the applicant's eligibility and verifies the information provided and prepares a small dossier for the Trustees. The cases are discussed at the monthly Trustees' meetings or earlier if the matter is urgent.
RESERVES POLICY
The Executive Committee regularly reviews the Society's reserves policy. The level of reserves held is influenced by the annual budget, outstanding grant commitments, economic factors and investment returns.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT POWERS, POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
The Trustees' investment powers are governed by statute, which permits the Charity's funds to be invested in any security authorised by Law for the investment for the Trust property. The policy of the Trustees is to maintain income whilst preserving the real value of the investments. The Charity's investments have continued to be managed in conformity with our policy and their performance for the year has been acceptable.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees examine the major risks that the Charity faces each year. The Charity has no fixed costs and no associated risks other than the ability to continue with and increase its current level of charitable work. This relies on the donations and the return of investments. Investments are managed by investment advisors and invested in a wide range of investments to reduce risk.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not
accrued as expenditure.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Society. Governance costs incurred in connection with administration of the Society and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
Investment assets and income
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
