REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. 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
The object of the Society is to assist Dutch nationals in need living in the United Kingdom, irrespective of race or religion, at its sole discretion. Assistance may also be given to others in the United Kingdom if they are the surviving widows or widowers of Dutch nationals, or children with at least one parent of Dutch nationality.
When Assistance is granted
Circumstances such as illness, mental stress, an emergency, old age, general poverty, and generally where an acute need of any kind exists, or an opportunity presents itself for improvement of conditions of life where these are considered to be below an acceptable level, all qualify for possible assistance.
Possible Forms of Assistance
It can take one or more of the following forms:
a. Advice and comfort to those eligible for assistance from the social co-ordinator.
b. The granting of a periodic payment or a one-time cash payment.
c. The granting of a loan.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Dear friends of the KWF,
In the summer of 2017, I wrote my first ever Chair message for the Koning Willem Fonds. In it I set out how, many decades earlier, my father had held this same position whilst working in London. I recalled in it how it was through the sharing of stories about the issues applicants faced and the charity's steady focus on making a difference to Dutch people's lives, that my interest in this work was nurtured.
This year will be my last as Chair and looking back over (almost) a decade, it has been my privilege to personally meet many of the applicants who approach us for grants and/or advice. There are always recurring themes, in the background behind requests, but every individual's story remains unique. Through emphasising 'home visits', to better understand a person's unique history, solution pathways are identified that also then align with the 'life story' of the applicant. This 'knowledge of the individual' is the distinctive feature of the charity, ensuring 'direct aid' and advice given, is appropriate and effective.
The annual report last year revealed how applicant numbers had mushroomed after Brexit so that, combined with the cost-ofliving crisis we had record numbers of people (c 300) asking for help in 2023 and 2024. Political and economic stressors both played their part in this. Nonetheless, we predicted and hoped for a significant reduction in demand pressure in 2025. Fewer issues relating to 'Brexit', as the 'catch-up’ element fell away with fewer individuals needing help with identity paperwork explains in part this fall. Consequently, for 2025 as a whole applicant numbers were almost halved at 144 (close to our original estimate of 150). The upside was an immense easing in our administrative load. We also wisely undertook to implement two much needed operational upgrades, a new website and a database system. We were thrilled to find sponsors who helped us with the cost of this.
In the Social report, we set out the main themes of the past year. Although numbers fell, the economic situation of our average applicant in 2025 remained challenging. Single families again feature strongly but we also saw an appreciable rise in the number of mid-life applicants approaching us - reflecting household income stress as a result of higher prices for utilities and food. Once again, several people (interestingly, mainly young men) chose to repatriate to the Netherlands last year and we helped them with the costs of these travel plans.
Looking ahead to 2026, we hope to hear back from the Charities Commission soon about our revised Statutes (approved by trustees at the last AGM). Global geopolitical stressors will continue to depress affordability and although interest rates may ease, this does not generally have an impact on our 'average applicant' unless they have high personal debts. With regard to applicant numbers we anticipate further easing and tentatively suggest a total of 100 for the year.
Establishing links with corporate partners to guide and support the KWF in the decade ahead is a clear strategic objective which my successor will focus on. Greater clarity on donation flows is a 'wished for item' for trustees. I would like to point out though that the charity have very few fixed overhead costs, so even a small donation feeds through immediately to 'direct aid' to applicants. Individual private gifts are likely to remain the greater source of 'donor income' for the foreseeable future, rather than corporate or institutional donations; our aim however is to find a better balance between these two.
All trustees give their time and effort free of charge and once again I wish to thank them for their input and advice this past year. Several new excellent trustees have joined the board at, and since the AGM; we have also said goodbye to some super trustees who had served the charity for a considerable span of time. Input from 'long serving' trustees is an invaluable asset to any charity.
All the trustees wish to THANK YOU for your support - it can make the difference between hunger and hope. Could you consider helping a fellow countryman by committing to a monthly donation of £10 to help us continue with our work? Perhaps you could set up a monthly standing order to The Netherlands Benevolent Society (Account number: 29926580, sort code: 50-00-00).
With warm wishes for the year ahead,
Loesje van Hellenberg Hubar

FACT SHEET
WE 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 Co-ordinator
-
The board of 13 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. In any given year, some 5-10 people cannot afford the cost of a new passport, as per applicant costing up to £148, nor indeed can they fund the cost of travelling to London.
£60 - pays for one week's worth of food vouchers. In any given year, supermarket vouchers account for half of all monies spent by the Charity.
£140 - pays for a warm coat with waterproof shoes.

Social Report 2025
In 2025, the cost-of-living crisis was felt again urgently among the applicants to the fund. The majority of applicants live monthto-month with no savings buffer. Discretionary spending is virtually eliminated.
The trustees and the social co-ordinator were able to help both practically (contacting organisations and companies, providing a listening ear, referring to organisations, etc.) and financially through vouchers, paying for passport renewals and bus fares to the Netherlands and small monthly grant payments to long-term beneficiaries.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
We have seen noticeable seasonal spikes:
-
Winter: +£50–£150 utilities (heating)
-
September: +£100–£300 school uniforms/supplies
-
Summer: food costs rise (school holidays, no subsidised meals)

THE NETHERLANDS BENEVOLENT SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The chart above shows a marked decrease in referrals via the Turn2Us website. This reflects a requested change to the website description, which has resulted in KWF receiving enquiries and applications only from Dutch passport holders. It is worth noting that the majority of CAB referrals were also generated through Turn2Us.

THE NETHERLANDS BENEVOLENT SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
As shown in the charts below, the largest number of applicants were aged 31-40, a slight change from 2024, when the age group 18-30 was highest. The largest groups applying for help have not changed since 2024: single parents and people living alone.
Page 7
THE NETHERLANDS BENEVOLENT SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The combined charts demonstrate a consistent pattern of financial instability rooted in unaffordable housing, which consumes 50–65% of income. Secondary pressures include food insecurity (40+ cases using food banks), disability-related costs that multiply household expenses by 20–40%, and systematic debt accumulation averaging £6,000–£20,000 per household.
Most applicants’ primary needs are:
-
Housing affordability support
-
Food security assurance (vouchers, food bank)
-
Debt management/relief
-
Childcare cost subsidies (to enable employment)
-
Disability support enhancements

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
In 2025, we again had several heartfelt thank-you notes from applicants:
“Thank you for the practical support you’ve provided so far”
“Thank you again so much for your help with the food voucher; it has been a lifesaver”
“Thank you so much for this incredible news. I am deeply grateful to the trustees for this support”
“Thank you for the email. Thanks for the trustee decision”
“Thank you, and it was great talking to you”

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
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 co-ordinator, 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 co-ordinator 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.
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.

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.
