The Savage Club Benevolent Fund
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2020
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 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
Aims and Organisation
The main objective of the fund as stated in the governing documents is "to assist members and ex-members and employees and former employees of the Savage Club and dependants of deceased members, ex-members, employees and former employees, who through misfortune require assistance, financial or otherwise.
The trustees and the other members of the management committee are advised by members of the Savage Club, of any eligible beneficiaries that are in need of financial assistance. Each case brought to the management committee's attentions is considered and where relevant a grant is approved. Information on whether financial assistance may be required is also provided by a "Watchman".
In determining how best to achieve the charity's objects, the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Review of the Fund
The net (outgoing)/incoming resources for the year of (£7,317), 2019: £2,083, arise from a continuing policy of managing resources to meet valid grant requests which vary from year to year. The realised (loss)/gain on investments of £8,028, 2019: £6,435, arise as a result of selling shares to protect future funding required to meet outgoing resources.
As grants are paid to meet financial needs of qualifying individuals as they arise, this cost will vary from year to year. Investments are made with a view to providing either capital growth so that they can be sold or income to meet net outgoing resources.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Trustees
The trustees of the fund are as stated on the information page. A maximum of four trustees can be appointed and they receive no remuneration or expenses.
Reserves and risk policy
The reserves held are maximised by investment to meet the varying levels of grants payable which are not covered by income from those investments. The investments made can at any time be affected by the fluctuations of the stock market and therefore it is essential to maintain a level of investment that provides an adequate flow of income.
The fluctuations in the stock market and the level of grants paid each year are considered to be the main risks facing the fund and the committee monitor these aspects of the fund to ensure it meets its future obligations.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions fo the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
