**WESTFIELD WAR MEMORIAL VILLAGE - LANCASTER (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00157888)** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 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 Objectives and aims** 

The charity has two enduring objectives, for the public benefit, each underpinned by a number of aims. 

Objective 1. The relief of those in need by reason of disability, ill health, financial hardship or other disadvantage by: 

Aim 1. Providing a range of quality, affordable, rental accommodation to the Armed Forces Community. Aim 2. The provision of welfare support to residents of Westfield Village and to relieve need by providing financial support, as appropriate, and where public funds are not available or cannot be provided in a reasonable time. Aim 3. The disbursement of funds to charities and other organisations that support the Armed Forces Community. 

Objective 2. The advancement of community development, education, culture and heritage by: 

Aim 4. Providing Sir Thomas Storey House as a Community Centre for the residents of Westfield Village. Aim 5. Supporting residents of Westfield village in their community activities and maintaining the environment and ethos of the village. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have taken due cognisance of the Charity Commission's advice on public benefit with reference to its supplementary benefits guidance on the prevention and relief of poverty. We are pleased to report that we had no serious incidents within our Charity requiring the attention of the Charity Commission. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Achievement and performance Review of the year** 

The dominating feature of this reporting year has without question been the coronavirus pandemic. Much activities have had to stop or be seriously curtailed in order to comply with government requirements. Despite the challenges, routine management has not stopped, and we have made significant changes in the way we do business and support the village and its residents. 

Firstly, looking at governance, we have a new chair of the Council for the first time in ten years. We thank the outgoing chairman, Dr David Elliott, for his commitment and dedication. His concern and passion for the village and its inhabitants have been the hallmark of his time in office he has provided a shining example of unstinting dedication and commitment. We are fortunate that he is remaining as a trustee and has become Vice Chair, where his experience and sage counsel will be of great benefit. 

Our new chair has initially focused on governance and has overseen a review of our policies and procedures making them more efficient and streamlined. Council meetings now take place quarterly, which ensures there is no loss of momentum and knowledge is not lost. Committees have been revamped and streamlined, allowing them to focus on particular areas, if necessary.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

## **Achievement and performance** 

The work of the Secretary has been rebalanced with the emphasis on support to the Council and less on the delivery of village activities. This is not to undermine the importance of these activities, but rather to encourage greater resident participation. A new Residents Association committee has been elected and to facilitate its greater engagement we have sought to channel Council funding for activities through this body. In furtherance of this direction of travel we have appointed two trustees as village ambassadors, their role is to forge closer links with the Residents Association providing assistance support and guidance where necessary and improving communications between them and the wider Council. With less direct responsibility for village activities, the Secretary also has more capacity to support the chair, trustees and Council in the discharge of our governance responsibilities. 

As a council, we are very conscious of the welfare and social needs of our residents and seek to make life on the village an enjoyable and rewarding experience. An example of this is the introduction of a decorating allowance, which will provide funds to assist residents, especially those new to the village, to improve the internal appearance of their homes. Additionally, we provided extra funds to the Residents Association to facilitate community activities, especially over the Christmas period, in order to mitigate some of the impact of COVID-19 measures. 

Beyond the village, we have continued to support other charities and organisations, who in their turn support the Armed Forces community. In particular, we have maintained our practice of making a sizeable grant to the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, our local Regiment, and the descendants of the King's Own Regiment who were involved at the very start with the creation of the village. Other charities we have supported include SSAFA, Combat Stress, The Not Forgotten Association and our local foodbank. We have also made a grant to the Lancaster Military Heritage Group. All of this work underlines our commitment not only to support the wider Armed Forces community but also our local community. We were also fortunate to receive a government grant through the local authority to assist the charity in its work. This small business grant of £10,000 has been used for COVID-19 measures, such as improving our ability to work from home and also for the benefit of the residents. 

We have also sought to improve further our relations and partnership with TGP, who lease the village from us and manage it. This is evidenced by the fact that we have successfully and amicably renegotiated the ten-year rent review with TGP. We have also revised the management agreement between ourselves, changing it from an opaque legalistic document to one that is easy to read and clearly defines responsibilities. We expect the new document to be formally ratified by both parties in the very near future. The document also sets out a formal structure of meeting with TGP where we can share ideas and address issues. The benefit of this work is already being felt. 

- The Council has continued looking to maintain and improve the village. The work we have funded includes: - Refurbishment of the village Memorial Monument. 

- Restoration of house name plaques. 

- Building works to improve the community room and the safety of communal gardens and paths. 

- Digitisation and secure storage of our archives. 

- Scoping of scooter garages and charging facilities. 

- Scoping and improve the website and with improved Internet access. 

I should also formally note the retirement of the Rev Robert Canham from the trustees after ten years on the Council. He has been a stalwart Council member and his calm, sage advice and experience will be greatly missed. However, we are fortunate that he has agreed to continue to provide us with support to village services when needed. In the near future, we will be welcoming Stephen Quick as a new trustee and we are sure that with his financial background in investment management he will be of great benefit into the future. 

Finally, we look forward to emerging from the pandemic and to facing 2021 with confidence, buoyed by both the success of the changes we have made this year, and having demonstrated our ability to manage the challenges thrown at us.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

## **Financial review** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity maintains sufficient free reserves to continue operating for a year and to cover major repairs. Any surplus funds may be paid out by way of grants in future years. Free reserves as at the year-end were £1,955,989 (2019 - £2,101,737), of which £1,763,670 (2019 - £1,965,438) is held as investments to generate income for the charity. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles dated 12 August 1919, as amended by special resolutions on 31 March 1950, 29 July 1957, 17 January 1983 and 7 October 2013. 

The charity constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles of Association. Under the requirements of the Articles of Association members of the Charity may be elected to serve as a trustee and become a member of the governing Council. At each annual general meeting one-third of all, or nearest number to one-third, must retire from office. If eligible to do so they may offer themselves up for re-election. 

Due to the varied nature of the charity's work with the Armed Forces Community, the Council seeks to ensure that the needs of this group are appropriately reflected in the trustees' makeup, whilst also seeking wider diversity. 

The more traditional business, housing and welfare skills are well represented on the Council. In an effort to maintain this broad skill mix, trustees are requested to provide a list of their skills and experience. In the event of particular skills and experience being lost due to retirements, individuals are approached to become trustees and maintain our skill sets. 

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity will be set out in the accounts.

**WESTFIELD WAR MEMORIAL VILLAGE - LANCASTER (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00157888)** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Organisational structure** 

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles of Association. Together they form the Westfield War Memorial Village (WWMV) Council, which manages the charity and oversees the village. 

The Council is currently made up of eleven trustees who meet quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The members are drawn from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of  the charity. The charity's secretary sits on the Council but is not a trustee and has no voting rights. 

The Council meets at least twice per year in Ordinary Council Meetings (OCMs), however, in the last year it has met quarterly, and this pattern will continue for the foreseeable future. One meeting, usually in March, is preceded by an Annual General Meeting (AGM). Additionally, following this meeting the day will close with the Annual Residents Forum. With recent changes in the way we engage with the village, the need for such a forum will be reviewed. 

The day-to-day responsibility for running the charity rests with the Secretary, overseen by elected Council Officers: the Chair, supported by the Vice Chair and Treasurer. In addition, two trustees have been elected as 'Village Ambassadors' to liaise closely with the Residents' Association to guide, assist and support them in their activities and provide an easily accessible link with the Council. 

Under the requirements of the Articles of Association, members of the charity may be elected to serve as a trustee and become a member of the Council. At each AGM one-third of trustees must retire from office. However, if eligible, they may seek re-election. Therefore, trustees serve for three years up to a maximum of nine years. Trustees who are elected as officers can serve two three-year terms in their post. 

The Articles of Association allows the delegation of powers. We currently have a Finance Sub Committee made up of three designated trustees and a Policy Sub Committee made up of at least five designated trustees. They meet when necessary throughout the year to discuss issues as delegated at the Ordinary Council Meetings or to address issues that arise between meetings that need more immediate attention. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work and organisational structure of the charity having been encouraged to attend a meeting of the trustees, meet with the Chairman and Secretary and attend some charity events. These help them to familiarise themselves with the charity's policies and the context within which it operates. 

Trustees are also provided with: 

- Information regarding their obligations, roles and responsibilities. They are provided with a copy of or directed to Charity Commission guidelines such as CC2: "the Essential Trustee" and CC8 Internal financial controls for charities. -The main documents which sets out the operational framework for the charity including the Articles of Association, Notes for Council Members, Basic information for new trustees the Lease and Management Agreement and the Information Sharing Agreement with TGP. 

- A copy of the latest published accounts including the current Chairman's Report which includes the charities future plans and objectives. 

- At least two sets of most recent Records of Decisions from Council meetings. 

- List of current trustees and contact details. 

- Forms which they are required to fill in and return, such as Charity Commission Declaration, Company Registration form, Conflict of Interest Declaration, Trustee Information Form and Skills Audit.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees are asked to identify any risks to the charity at each OCM. Additionally, a formal bi-annual review is conducted at the March and September OCMs as part of our s strategic risk management plan. 

Appropriate procedures have been established to mitigate and address risks the charity faces. As evidence, significant external risks to finances have been identified, which have led to the diversification of investment funds into three separate and quite different funds as mitigation. 

Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, residents and visitors to the office and community facilities. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.
