TRUSTEES’ FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The Trustees present their report and accounts in respect of the group of charities known as the Loughborough Welfare Trusts for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Registered office

20 Churchgate Loughborough Leicestershire LE11 1UD

Objectives of the Charity

The Charity is a registered Charity number 214654, established in 1972, and is governed by the Trust Deeds of the individual charities with the group.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charity’s governing document and applicable law.

The Charity’s objects are to provide benefit for the residents of the old borough of Loughborough, through the relief of poverty and sickness; the advancement of education; holiday assistance for the elderly or infirm. The Charity also provides homes for needy people who have been resident in the old borough of Loughborough, through its two almshouses. The two Herrick Charities provide assistance and/or benefit to females who were either born in the county of Leicestershire or have been resident with the county for at least five years.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Specific investment powers

The Charity’s endowments are held in trust in a portfolio, with grants and awards being made from the income received (in the form of dividends and interest) which is generated by those funds.

Professional advisers

HSBC Bank plc, 41 Market Place, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 3EJ Chesterton House Financial Planning Ltd, 2-3 Rectory Place, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 1UW Grout Insurance Brokers, Woolwich House 43 George Street, Croydon CR0 1LB

Administration

The Loughborough Welfare Trusts are administered by a Board of unpaid Trustees. The Trustees are appointed either by recommendation from the Board of Trustees at a general meeting, or on the proposition of a member at a general meeting.

The Trustees of the Charity during the year, and at 31 December 2020, were as follows: -

THE LOUGHBOROUGH WELFARE TRUSTS

TRUSTEES’ FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Charnwood Borough Council appoints the nominated Trustees. These Trustees during the year, and at 31 December 2020, were as follows: -

Cllr A Brennan Cllr S Forrest Cllr P Ranson Cllr M Smidowicz

In addition to this the Mayor of Charnwood is an ex-officio member.

Activities and achievements

During this year of Covid restrictions and lockdowns, the Trustees reassessed the process of considering grant applications. Urgent applications, where an applicant was in ‘immediate need’ were considered by the Trustees via online communication. Other applications were held pending the reopening of shops and services.

Due to the closure of most retailers and suppliers the Trustees awarded slightly higher grant amounts than usual, thus allowing recipients to order vital household goods online.

The Trusts’ income from the investment portfolio and the maintenance contributions for the two properties, were unaffected by the pandemic which allowed/will allow all applications received to be considered for a grant under the Trusts’ criteria.

Reserves Policy

The Capital Fund represents money set aside for the objective of securing the future of the activities of the Charity by the maintenance of fixed asset investments.

The Emergency Repair Fund was created because the Trustees consider it prudent to ear-mark an element of the reserves to meet unforeseen capital repair expenditure on the charity's properties. The level of this reserve is set at an amount the Trustees consider to be a reasonable estimate of any likely capital repairs costs.

The Accumulated income funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for any other purpose.

The total amount of reserves held at 31 December 2020 is £843,409.16.

Grant-making Policy

Grants and awards are made in accordance with the criteria and objectives within the Trust Deeds pertaining to each of the charities.

Investments Selection Policy

An ongoing development is that the Trustees are in consultation with Chesterton House Financial Planning Ltd, with the aim of improving investment strategies and policies in order to maximise future investment income.

Review of major risks

At their meetings, the Trustees constantly review all the risks pertaining to their work. The Trust Deeds, to which Trustees abide making grants and awards, also serve to provide policies and procedures to mitigate any risk relating to that work. The Trustees have a 'Trustee Indemnity Assurance' policy with Grout Insurance Brokers, to further mitigate any risk.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LOUGHBOROUGH WELFARE TRUSTS

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Loughborough Welfare Trusts

I report to the charity's trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Loughborough Welfare Trusts (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.

We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I confirm no other matters have come to my attention that give me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
