THE WEST KIRBY CHARITY Registered Number: 218546 

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2022 

## Principal Office 

C/o The Clerk to the Trustees, 37 Madeley Drive, West Kirby, CH48 3LB 

## Structure and Governance 

The Charity is an unincorporated association governed by a Scheme dated 14[th] January 1975 approved by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales. 

## Trustees 

When complete, the body of Trustees consists of twelve persons who through residence, occupation or employment, or otherwise, have special knowledge of the area of the former Urban District of Hoylake i.e. Hoylake, Meols, Greasby, Frankby, Caldy, Grange, Newton and West Kirby. Eight Nominative Trustees are appointed by Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council on the advice of existing Trustees and four Cooptative Trustees are directly appointed by the existing Trustees. Prospective Trustees are chosen for their local knowledge and skills which complement the existing members’ skill sets. Although no formal training is given, Trustees receive the Charity Commission Trustee Welcome Pack when they are appointed, and informal training takes place at trustee meetings. 

The Trustees who served during the year were as follows: 

Nominative Trustees: 

Mr James Darwent - Chair Mrs Vicky Gawith Ms Deirdre O’Dwyer Mrs Nadine Smith Mr David Stevenson Mrs Johanna Wynne 

Co-optative Trustees: 

Dr Lee Malpas Mrs Jane Boulton – appointed 4[th] October 2022 Rev Alex Williams – appointed 4[th] October 2022 

Jane Boulton relinquished her post as Clerk to the Trustees and was warmly thanked for her very valuable services over some 13 years. We are pleased that she has accepted co-option as a Trustee of the Charity where her knowledge and 

1 



commitment will be very useful. We welcomed Jane Brereton as the new Clerk to the Trustees in her place. 

We are also pleased to welcome the Rev Alex Williams, the Rector of St. Bridget’s Church, West Kirby, as a Co-optative Trustee. 

## Objectives and activities 

The objects of the Charity are to provide financial relief, either generally or to individual persons, in the area of benefit, and the provision of pensions to poor persons who have resided in the area of benefit for not less than 3 years. 

The Charity carries out the following activities to further its purposes: 

The Charity applies its yearly income: 

- a) in paying pensions to pensioners who have resided in the area of the former Urban District of Hoylake for not less than three years next preceding the time of their appointment. 

- b) for relief in need in relieving either generally or individually persons resident in the former Urban District of Hoylake who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services, or facilities calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons. 

- c) The income of the Charity shall not be applied in relief of rates, taxes or other public funds but may be applied in supplementing relief or assistance provided out of public funds. 

subject to a requirement that one half of the net income derived from certain property and investments listed in a schedule to the Charity’s Scheme shall be held for educational purposes. The Charity fulfils this particular requirement by paying the relevant proportion of its net income to The Bennett Trust, a charity established to promote the education at Calday Grange Grammar School. 

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance in seeking to fulfil the Charity’s objects. 

## Achievements and performance 

Our last remaining pensioner, Joyce Smith, sadly died in January 2022 at the age of 93 and we have not been able to find other deserving pensioners who might be helped in this way. 

As established by the Charity’s Governing Scheme, half of the Charity’s net income is passed to The Bennett Trust for use by the pupils of Calday Grange Grammar School. This amounted to £6,628.15 for 2022 (2021 - £7,266.98). The Trust can give assistance in cases of hardship to parents/carers of children from families of limited means, larger families or those with particular financial problems. Grants may be made in special cases of any kind not normally provided by the Local Authority and in some circumstances funds may be available for those students who have recently 

2 



left school to help them in their chosen careers or in Further or Higher Education, provided they are less than 25 years of age. 

Other grants and payments were made to the following: 

Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund – £2,000 - support for two participants living in our District 

The Sequal Trust – £2,495 - contribution towards a speech aid for a local disabled lady 

The Foresters' Horn Group, Riding for the Disabled Association - £500 - support for 3 local riders 

The Quirky Café, Hoylake - £200 - Christmas Donation 

The Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund gives disabled children the opportunity to attend summer camps, go on day trips and socialise with children their own age throughout the year and in particular the summer holidays. This means they have an opportunity to build lasting friendships and enjoy the same kind of experiences other children have regularly, and these really have a lasting impact. 

The Sequal Trust is a national charity which is committed to bridging the communication gap for disabled people. By providing suitable assistive technology to people who need it most, they aim to increase the quality of life for those who are non-verbal, have incoherent speech, or who have learning and communication difficulties. They aim to achieve this by making sure each of their disabled members reach their full potential through the provision of suitable communication equipment such as speech aids, light writers and grid pads. The Trustees agreed to help support a lady living in Hoylake who needed a replacement voice recognition appliance, contributing £2,495 of the total £4,495 cost. 

The Foresters’ Horn Group aims to provide life changing experiences for children and adults with a range of disabilities at two sites on the Wirral. It offers riders weekly sessions in term time and summer outings, such as a picnic and ride, and a two - night stay at a riding centre in Wales. Riders sometimes require 2-3 volunteers with them to support their physical needs. 

The Quirky Cafe is part of The Life Tree Wirral CIC, a community interest company based in Hoylake, established to carry on activities which benefit the community and in particular support people who are disadvantaged, suffer from mental and physical health issues and are isolated. Amongst other things the cafe provided Christmas hampers with West Wirral Round Table, a warm hub for families, and a Christmas Day dinner for older people who might otherwise be on their own or finding things a little hard. They also offered to deliver lunch to anyone who might struggle getting out or who doesn’t have transport.

## Financial position 

The Charity’s financial position at the year-end is stable with reserves of £124,061.74 (2021 - £128,050), including the designated Repair Fund of £5,000, of which £95,138.56 (2021 – £104,879) is in unit trusts or listed investments. 

Sufficient funds are kept in cash to ensure that the Charity can meet its obligations at any one time and surplus funds are invested with the help of professional advisors to maximise available income. The levels of all funds are considered at the regular meetings of the Trustees. 

The Trustees continually look for opportunities to extend the reach of the Charity and enter into appropriate commitments to further its objects. 

Our investment portfolio has unfortunately decreased in value during the year, following the general stock market downturn. 

The Charity keeps a Repair Fund as a Designated Fund to ensure that sufficient funds are available for the maintenance of its properties. The level of that fund is determined annually by the Trustees. The Fund has been maintained at £5,000, considered reasonable for normal repairs and maintenance.

||Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake|
|**Allocation of**|charitable activities. Support costs include finance and governance costs which support the<br>Charity's activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and|
|**support costs**|expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are|
||set out in note 10.|

||The Rake House Farm tenanted land together with the Allotments at Meols and Newton were|
||valued at 31st December 2021 by a RICS registered valuer at open market value, based on the|
||comparable evidence obtained in their experience of valuing similar property in the locality. In|
||arriving at their opinion, regard was had to locational and physical factors, occupier demand and|
||redevelopment potential/alternative.|
||Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting|
|**Creditors and**|from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount|

||normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.|
||Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the|
||Charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the Charity which the Trustees have decided|
||at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.  Endowment funds are assets which|
|**Fund**|are required to be invested, or retained for actual use, rather than spent. The Property Fund is|
|**accounting**|regarded as Permanent Endowment under the Charity's Scheme and is subject to restrictions|
||therefore as to how it may be transferred, sold or spent. Half the income from the Permanent|
||Endowment must be held for educational purposes and is accordingly shown as a Restricted|
||Fund in the Accounts.|

THE WEST KIRBY CHARITY Registered Number: 218546 

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2022 

## Principal Office 

C/o The Clerk to the Trustees, 37 Madeley Drive, West Kirby, CH48 3LB 

## Structure and Governance 

The Charity is an unincorporated association governed by a Scheme dated 14[th] January 1975 approved by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales. 

## Trustees 

When complete, the body of Trustees consists of twelve persons who through residence, occupation or employment, or otherwise, have special knowledge of the area of the former Urban District of Hoylake i.e. Hoylake, Meols, Greasby, Frankby, Caldy, Grange, Newton and West Kirby. Eight Nominative Trustees are appointed by Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council on the advice of existing Trustees and four Cooptative Trustees are directly appointed by the existing Trustees. Prospective Trustees are chosen for their local knowledge and skills which complement the existing members’ skill sets. Although no formal training is given, Trustees receive the Charity Commission Trustee Welcome Pack when they are appointed, and informal training takes place at trustee meetings. 

The Trustees who served during the year were as follows: 

Nominative Trustees: 

Mr James Darwent - Chair Mrs Vicky Gawith Ms Deirdre O’Dwyer Mrs Nadine Smith Mr David Stevenson Mrs Johanna Wynne 

Co-optative Trustees: 

Dr Lee Malpas Mrs Jane Boulton – appointed 4[th] October 2022 Rev Alex Williams – appointed 4[th] October 2022 

Jane Boulton relinquished her post as Clerk to the Trustees and was warmly thanked for her very valuable services over some 13 years. We are pleased that she has accepted co-option as a Trustee of the Charity where her knowledge and 

1 



commitment will be very useful. We welcomed Jane Brereton as the new Clerk to the Trustees in her place. 

We are also pleased to welcome the Rev Alex Williams, the Rector of St. Bridget’s Church, West Kirby, as a Co-optative Trustee. 

## Objectives and activities 

The objects of the Charity are to provide financial relief, either generally or to individual persons, in the area of benefit, and the provision of pensions to poor persons who have resided in the area of benefit for not less than 3 years. 

The Charity carries out the following activities to further its purposes: 

The Charity applies its yearly income: 

- a) in paying pensions to pensioners who have resided in the area of the former Urban District of Hoylake for not less than three years next preceding the time of their appointment. 

- b) for relief in need in relieving either generally or individually persons resident in the former Urban District of Hoylake who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services, or facilities calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons. 

- c) The income of the Charity shall not be applied in relief of rates, taxes or other public funds but may be applied in supplementing relief or assistance provided out of public funds. 

subject to a requirement that one half of the net income derived from certain property and investments listed in a schedule to the Charity’s Scheme shall be held for educational purposes. The Charity fulfils this particular requirement by paying the relevant proportion of its net income to The Bennett Trust, a charity established to promote the education at Calday Grange Grammar School. 

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance in seeking to fulfil the Charity’s objects. 

## Achievements and performance 

Our last remaining pensioner, Joyce Smith, sadly died in January 2022 at the age of 93 and we have not been able to find other deserving pensioners who might be helped in this way. 

As established by the Charity’s Governing Scheme, half of the Charity’s net income is passed to The Bennett Trust for use by the pupils of Calday Grange Grammar School. This amounted to £6,628.15 for 2022 (2021 - £7,266.98). The Trust can give assistance in cases of hardship to parents/carers of children from families of limited means, larger families or those with particular financial problems. Grants may be made in special cases of any kind not normally provided by the Local Authority and in some circumstances funds may be available for those students who have recently 

2 



left school to help them in their chosen careers or in Further or Higher Education, provided they are less than 25 years of age. 

Other grants and payments were made to the following: 

Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund – £2,000 - support for two participants living in our District 

The Sequal Trust – £2,495 - contribution towards a speech aid for a local disabled lady 

The Foresters' Horn Group, Riding for the Disabled Association - £500 - support for 3 local riders 

The Quirky Café, Hoylake - £200 - Christmas Donation 

The Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund gives disabled children the opportunity to attend summer camps, go on day trips and socialise with children their own age throughout the year and in particular the summer holidays. This means they have an opportunity to build lasting friendships and enjoy the same kind of experiences other children have regularly, and these really have a lasting impact. 

The Sequal Trust is a national charity which is committed to bridging the communication gap for disabled people. By providing suitable assistive technology to people who need it most, they aim to increase the quality of life for those who are non-verbal, have incoherent speech, or who have learning and communication difficulties. They aim to achieve this by making sure each of their disabled members reach their full potential through the provision of suitable communication equipment such as speech aids, light writers and grid pads. The Trustees agreed to help support a lady living in Hoylake who needed a replacement voice recognition appliance, contributing £2,495 of the total £4,495 cost. 

The Foresters’ Horn Group aims to provide life changing experiences for children and adults with a range of disabilities at two sites on the Wirral. It offers riders weekly sessions in term time and summer outings, such as a picnic and ride, and a two - night stay at a riding centre in Wales. Riders sometimes require 2-3 volunteers with them to support their physical needs. 

The Quirky Cafe is part of The Life Tree Wirral CIC, a community interest company based in Hoylake, established to carry on activities which benefit the community and in particular support people who are disadvantaged, suffer from mental and physical health issues and are isolated. Amongst other things the cafe provided Christmas hampers with West Wirral Round Table, a warm hub for families, and a Christmas Day dinner for older people who might otherwise be on their own or finding things a little hard. They also offered to deliver lunch to anyone who might struggle getting out or who doesn’t have transport.

## Financial position 

The Charity’s financial position at the year-end is stable with reserves of £124,061.74 (2021 - £128,050), including the designated Repair Fund of £5,000, of which £95,138.56 (2021 – £104,879) is in unit trusts or listed investments. 

Sufficient funds are kept in cash to ensure that the Charity can meet its obligations at any one time and surplus funds are invested with the help of professional advisors to maximise available income. The levels of all funds are considered at the regular meetings of the Trustees. 

The Trustees continually look for opportunities to extend the reach of the Charity and enter into appropriate commitments to further its objects. 

Our investment portfolio has unfortunately decreased in value during the year, following the general stock market downturn. 

The Charity keeps a Repair Fund as a Designated Fund to ensure that sufficient funds are available for the maintenance of its properties. The level of that fund is determined annually by the Trustees. The Fund has been maintained at £5,000, considered reasonable for normal repairs and maintenance.

||on an open market basis in comparison with like properties on sale or recently sold in the area.|
||The Rake House Farm tenanted land together with the Allotments at Meols and Newton were|
||valued at 31st December 2021 by a RICS registered valuer at open market value, based on the|
||comparable evidence obtained in their experience of valuing similar property in the locality. In|
||arriving at their opinion, regard was had to locational and physical factors, occupier demand and|
||redevelopment potential/alternative.|
||Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting|
|**Creditors and**|from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount|

||normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.|
||Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the|
||Charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the Charity which the Trustees have decided|
||at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.  Endowment funds are assets which|
|**Fund**|are required to be invested, or retained for actual use, rather than spent. The Property Fund is|
|**accounting**|regarded as Permanent Endowment under the Charity's Scheme and is subject to restrictions|
||therefore as to how it may be transferred, sold or spent. Half the income from the Permanent|
||Endowment must be held for educational purposes and is accordingly shown as a Restricted|
||Fund in the Accounts.|

THE WEST KIRBY CHARITY Registered Number: 218546 

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2022 

## Principal Office 

C/o The Clerk to the Trustees, 37 Madeley Drive, West Kirby, CH48 3LB 

## Structure and Governance 

The Charity is an unincorporated association governed by a Scheme dated 14[th] January 1975 approved by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales. 

## Trustees 

When complete, the body of Trustees consists of twelve persons who through residence, occupation or employment, or otherwise, have special knowledge of the area of the former Urban District of Hoylake i.e. Hoylake, Meols, Greasby, Frankby, Caldy, Grange, Newton and West Kirby. Eight Nominative Trustees are appointed by Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council on the advice of existing Trustees and four Cooptative Trustees are directly appointed by the existing Trustees. Prospective Trustees are chosen for their local knowledge and skills which complement the existing members’ skill sets. Although no formal training is given, Trustees receive the Charity Commission Trustee Welcome Pack when they are appointed, and informal training takes place at trustee meetings. 

The Trustees who served during the year were as follows: 

Nominative Trustees: 

Mr James Darwent - Chair Mrs Vicky Gawith Ms Deirdre O’Dwyer Mrs Nadine Smith Mr David Stevenson Mrs Johanna Wynne 

Co-optative Trustees: 

Dr Lee Malpas Mrs Jane Boulton – appointed 4[th] October 2022 Rev Alex Williams – appointed 4[th] October 2022 

Jane Boulton relinquished her post as Clerk to the Trustees and was warmly thanked for her very valuable services over some 13 years. We are pleased that she has accepted co-option as a Trustee of the Charity where her knowledge and 

1 



commitment will be very useful. We welcomed Jane Brereton as the new Clerk to the Trustees in her place. 

We are also pleased to welcome the Rev Alex Williams, the Rector of St. Bridget’s Church, West Kirby, as a Co-optative Trustee. 

## Objectives and activities 

The objects of the Charity are to provide financial relief, either generally or to individual persons, in the area of benefit, and the provision of pensions to poor persons who have resided in the area of benefit for not less than 3 years. 

The Charity carries out the following activities to further its purposes: 

The Charity applies its yearly income: 

- a) in paying pensions to pensioners who have resided in the area of the former Urban District of Hoylake for not less than three years next preceding the time of their appointment. 

- b) for relief in need in relieving either generally or individually persons resident in the former Urban District of Hoylake who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services, or facilities calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons. 

- c) The income of the Charity shall not be applied in relief of rates, taxes or other public funds but may be applied in supplementing relief or assistance provided out of public funds. 

subject to a requirement that one half of the net income derived from certain property and investments listed in a schedule to the Charity’s Scheme shall be held for educational purposes. The Charity fulfils this particular requirement by paying the relevant proportion of its net income to The Bennett Trust, a charity established to promote the education at Calday Grange Grammar School. 

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance in seeking to fulfil the Charity’s objects. 

## Achievements and performance 

Our last remaining pensioner, Joyce Smith, sadly died in January 2022 at the age of 93 and we have not been able to find other deserving pensioners who might be helped in this way. 

As established by the Charity’s Governing Scheme, half of the Charity’s net income is passed to The Bennett Trust for use by the pupils of Calday Grange Grammar School. This amounted to £6,628.15 for 2022 (2021 - £7,266.98). The Trust can give assistance in cases of hardship to parents/carers of children from families of limited means, larger families or those with particular financial problems. Grants may be made in special cases of any kind not normally provided by the Local Authority and in some circumstances funds may be available for those students who have recently 

2 



left school to help them in their chosen careers or in Further or Higher Education, provided they are less than 25 years of age. 

Other grants and payments were made to the following: 

Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund – £2,000 - support for two participants living in our District 

The Sequal Trust – £2,495 - contribution towards a speech aid for a local disabled lady 

The Foresters' Horn Group, Riding for the Disabled Association - £500 - support for 3 local riders 

The Quirky Café, Hoylake - £200 - Christmas Donation 

The Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund gives disabled children the opportunity to attend summer camps, go on day trips and socialise with children their own age throughout the year and in particular the summer holidays. This means they have an opportunity to build lasting friendships and enjoy the same kind of experiences other children have regularly, and these really have a lasting impact. 

The Sequal Trust is a national charity which is committed to bridging the communication gap for disabled people. By providing suitable assistive technology to people who need it most, they aim to increase the quality of life for those who are non-verbal, have incoherent speech, or who have learning and communication difficulties. They aim to achieve this by making sure each of their disabled members reach their full potential through the provision of suitable communication equipment such as speech aids, light writers and grid pads. The Trustees agreed to help support a lady living in Hoylake who needed a replacement voice recognition appliance, contributing £2,495 of the total £4,495 cost. 

The Foresters’ Horn Group aims to provide life changing experiences for children and adults with a range of disabilities at two sites on the Wirral. It offers riders weekly sessions in term time and summer outings, such as a picnic and ride, and a two - night stay at a riding centre in Wales. Riders sometimes require 2-3 volunteers with them to support their physical needs. 

The Quirky Cafe is part of The Life Tree Wirral CIC, a community interest company based in Hoylake, established to carry on activities which benefit the community and in particular support people who are disadvantaged, suffer from mental and physical health issues and are isolated. Amongst other things the cafe provided Christmas hampers with West Wirral Round Table, a warm hub for families, and a Christmas Day dinner for older people who might otherwise be on their own or finding things a little hard. They also offered to deliver lunch to anyone who might struggle getting out or who doesn’t have transport.

## Financial position 

The Charity’s financial position at the year-end is stable with reserves of £124,061.74 (2021 - £128,050), including the designated Repair Fund of £5,000, of which £95,138.56 (2021 – £104,879) is in unit trusts or listed investments. 

Sufficient funds are kept in cash to ensure that the Charity can meet its obligations at any one time and surplus funds are invested with the help of professional advisors to maximise available income. The levels of all funds are considered at the regular meetings of the Trustees. 

The Trustees continually look for opportunities to extend the reach of the Charity and enter into appropriate commitments to further its objects. 

Our investment portfolio has unfortunately decreased in value during the year, following the general stock market downturn. 

The Charity keeps a Repair Fund as a Designated Fund to ensure that sufficient funds are available for the maintenance of its properties. The level of that fund is determined annually by the Trustees. The Fund has been maintained at £5,000, considered reasonable for normal repairs and maintenance.

||Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake|

|**support costs**|expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are|
||set out in note 10.|
|**ASSETS**||
|**Investments**|Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year<br>end.|

||The Rake House Farm tenanted land together with the Allotments at Meols and Newton were|
||valued at 31st December 2021 by a RICS registered valuer at open market value, based on the|

||normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.|
||Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the|
||Charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the Charity which the Trustees have decided|
||at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.  Endowment funds are assets which|
|**Fund**|are required to be invested, or retained for actual use, rather than spent. The Property Fund is|
|**accounting**|regarded as Permanent Endowment under the Charity's Scheme and is subject to restrictions|
||therefore as to how it may be transferred, sold or spent. Half the income from the Permanent|
||Endowment must be held for educational purposes and is accordingly shown as a Restricted|
||Fund in the Accounts.|
