TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2024
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 Mr David Stevenson Mrs Johanna Wynne – Resigned 08/07/2024
Co-optative Trustees:
Mrs Jane Boulton Dr Lee Malpas Rev Alex Williams
We were sorry to lose Johanna Wynne, a past Chair of the Charity, who was warmly thanked for her valuable services.

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 £6,751.95 for 2024 (2023 - £6,098.94). 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 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 – £3,000.00 - support for two participants living in our District.
2
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.
Calday Grange Swimming Pool Trust - £5,000.00 – contribution towards disabled access facilities.
Calday Pool is a registered charity formed in September 1996, by a group of Pool Users, to take over the running of the pool after the Local Authority’s decision not to renew its lease. The pool is now on a long-term lease to the Trust from Calday Grange Grammar School. The pool is hired out to numerous groups and clubs from the local area for various activities as well as being used for primary school and Calday Grammar School sessions and offering Lifeguard Courses. Major renovation plans, which include better disability access, as well as mitigating the rising cost of energy prices, are under way so that the pool can carry on providing the means for customers to maintain their physical and mental wellbeing as well as teaching people of all ages one of the most important life skills - swimming.
The Foresters’ Horn Group, Riding for the Disabled - £720.00 – support for 3 local riders.
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.
Funding for a student’s participation in a school overseas tour - £165.00 – initial deposits
Christmas hamper for a local family - £56.64
We agreed to fund a student’s participation in a school’s Belgian music tour in July 2025, which would also involve playing at the daily Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres. The cost is estimated at £575 of which initial deposits of £165.00 have been made. A Christmas hamper was also gifted to the family at a cost of £56.64.
Hoylake Holy Trinity Primary School – £114.00 - support for pupils
The Charity contributed towards the cost of excursions for pupils who would otherwise have been unable to join their fellow classmates in enjoyable and educational activities.
3
Financial position
The Charity’s financial position at the year-end is stable with unrestricted reserves of £135,070.48 (2023 - £132,902.04) of which £5,000 is a designated Repair Fund. With interest rates on bank accounts still relatively low, we have opted to keep £98,578.66 (2023 – £97,802.85) of unrestricted funds in a professionally managed unit trust to enhance the possibility of capital appreciation thereon as well as generating a potentially growing income.
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.
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.
