The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 of the charity for that year.

The Hull Aid In Sickness Trust Trustees Report
for the year ended 30th August, 2022
Co-optative and Nominative Trustees:
The Co-optative Trustees are appointed by the board of Trustees for a term of five years after which they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. The Nominative Trustee is appointed by the Kingston upon Hull City Council for four years or at the discretion of the Council, and may then be re-appointed. The Trust’s governing document provides for6 Co-optative Trustees and 1 Nominative Trustee.
The Trust’s Scheme dictates that Co-optative Trustees must be persons who through residence, occupation or employment, or otherwise, have special knowledge of the City and County of Kingston upon Hull. Candidates for the post will have been personally recommended, asked to provide a written synopsis detailing their skills, knowledge and experience. Each candidate will be provided with a Trustees ‘Enquiry Pack’ containing copies of the Trustees role description, the ‘Essential Trustee’, recent Trust Minutes and Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements, and the Trust’s History. The Trust’s Scheme, all of the Trust’s policy and procedural documents, and a copy of ‘Charities and Public Benefit’ are provided once elected and new Trustees must also sign a ‘Declaration of Eligibility for New Trustees’.
The Trustees meet every quarterto considerthe grants, investments, reserves and risk management of the Trust. Any reviews from the Investment Manager, or changes to assets will also be reviewed between meetings as needed. The day to day administration of the charity is undertaken by Hull CVS, which is responsible for the maintaining of the records of the Trust and preparing applications and other documents for consideration by the Trustees at their meetings. All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of Trustee expenses are disclosed in Note 6 to the Accounts. Trustees are expected to withdraw from decisions wherea conflict of interest arises.
Risk Management
The Trustees have considered and identified all risks to which the Trust is exposed and have established systems and procedures to manage those risks.
The Trustees consider the variability of investment returns on the Trust’s endowment funds to constitute the charity's major financial risk as the Trust is dependent entirely on this income and has no other income source. The Trustees employ an Investment Manager to handle the Trust’s investments on the basis of an agreed investment strategy for an ethical bespoke portfolio and in accordance with the Trust’s Investment Policy. Reports and valuations of the Trust’s holdings are provided for consideration at every quarterly meeting.
The Trust’s major operational risk is the unpredictability of grant applications on an annual basis, particularly those received from individuals. The Trustees manage this risk with promotion of the charity’s grant making activities to all three of the Trust’s main beneficiary groups whenever any reduction in individual application numbers is recorded. Reporting and reviewofapplications at every Trust meeting also gives opportunities throughout the year to determine if further promotional responses are required and gives greater flexibility to the Trust’s charitable activities.

Objectives for the public benefit
The object of the Trust is to apply clear income of the Charity in relieving in cases of need persons resident in the City and County of Kingston upon Hull who are sick, convalescent, disabled, handicapped or infirm by providing or paying for items, services or facilities which are calculated to alleviate the suffering or assist recovery of such persons in such cases but that are not readily available to them from other sources. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Restrictions
-
In applying the income of the Charity the Trustees shall observe the following restrictions: 1. they shall not apply any part of the income directly for the relief or assistance provided out of public funds.
-
- they shall not commit themselves to repeat or renew relief granted on any occasion in any case.
Activities during the year
During the year the Trustees have returned to meeting physically for the purpose of overseeing the general management and operation of the Trust and its portfolio of investments and giving consideration to applications for financial assistance.
Grant making policy
The Trust has established its grant making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit in aiding those detailed in its Scheme, and defined in its objects as follows:
Grants made to individuals:
The Trust considers applications for grants by individuals who fulfil the criteria given in its objects and who can demonstrate their need by completing the Trust's application form and signing its declaration, and by supplying supporting evidence and information.
All applicants will complete a suitable application form and declaration, which will be considered at the next Trustees meeting. The Trustees reserve the right to withdraw from future funding if they are, at any time, not satisfied that the team is meeting the specified terms and conditions of the Trust.
Grants made to Social Worker Teams: Throughout the year the Trust also welcomed requests from local Social Workers acting on behalf of agencies approved by the Trustees to be awarded a small sum for further disbursement amongst their clients, and at their discretion, in cases of need. They must, on every occasion, provide documentary evidence demonstrating how grants previously approved have been utilised and fulfilled the objects of the Trust.
Grants made to the Hull branches of other charitable organisations: Submission of a summary of how any grant made would be used must be provided by any organisations requesting grants and this use must fulfil the criteria of providing a health benefit to those in need and are residents of the City and County of Kingston upon Hull only.

Achievements and Performance
How our grant making policy delivered public benefit - A review of our achievements and performance:
The total value of all forms of grants for this year increased, due to the current global need for more additional and emergency funds. The Trust prioritises grant awards to individuals and social worker teams and makes awards to organisations only where they feel they have the capacity to do so. This was a year where grants were awarded to anyone that needed them to help the wider public in our area.
Grant awards were approved by the Trustees this year as follows, and detailed in Note 3 to the Accounts:
-
A total of 5 individual applicants were approved for a grant following the receipt of new and satisfactory applications.
-
No grants were awarded via the Special Fund for Individual Applicants following the receipt of a new and satisfactory application.
-
The number of charitable organisations approved this year was 9, each application was carefully discussed to ensure that they fulfilled the Trust’s criteria.
-
Grants were awarded to social worker teams at local agencies on 1 occasion during the year for disbursement in smaller amounts to Hull patients who need urgent assistance.
Financial Review
The Trust is totally reliant upon the income received from the investments held by the charity and the financial objective is, where possible, to distribute this income after meeting all expenses, to the beneficiaries of the Trust in the form of grants that achieve our objects for the public benefit.
Dividend income, which forms the bulk of the Trust’s income, has increased this year to a total of £35,767 (2021 - £34,373), a positive impact coming out of the COVID-19 situation.
The Trust’s other source of income from Bank and Building Society accounts decreased this year to £55 (2021 - £316). Together dividends, bank interest and rent created overall income for the Trust this year of £35,821 (2021 - £34,689, an increase of around 3.3% from the last financial period).
The Trust’s Statement of Financial Activities on page 8 shows that this year there was a resultant surplus of £5,413 (2021 — deficit of £6,028). This was due to a reduced number of requests for support compared to the previous year, it was also noticed that in relation to the current situation there are other financial support options available to people.
Support costs remained in line with last year, with a small increase to the investment charges due to the additional contributions in the year.
Reserve Policy:
Reserves in the form of cash held on deposit are maintained at a level sufficient to cover at least two quarters administration and support. These funds are identified within the accounts as Contingency Funds. The reserves are classified as part of the Trust’s Unrestricted Fund but are designated for this specific purpose.

Investment Policy and Performance
This financial period the Trust’s Investment Manager, Castlefield have managed the portfolio in line with the Trust’s Investment Policy and agreed objectives.
Note 8 of the notes to the financial statements highlights the overall value of movements in the investment portfolio. These values indicate the changes necessary to meet the Trust’s investment objectives in the current financial climate and beyond, whilst still providing a level of monthly income that will allow the Trust to continue to meet its charitable objectives.
The dividend income this year was inline with the predicted valuation from Castlefield at the beginning of the period. The income level for this period has been adequate to meet the Trust's administrative and charitable requirements. The Investment Manager and the Trustees are now working to review the potential income from the portfolio over the coming year, to allow accurate and realistic budgets to be created.
The current value of the portfolio is £1,349,136, a negative movement of 7.96% from the start of the financial year. The average yield from holdings is 2.6% recorded as at the year end.
Following a review of the investment policy, the Trustees agreed to transfer £85,000 from the bank accounts to Castlefield, the investment managers, in order to enhance the dividend returns. These transactions were not wholly completed by the financial year end and the remaining balance is shown under the heading “Investment Dealing Account” on the Balance Sheet Fixed Assets.
Future Plans
The Trustees intend to continue making grants in a similar manner to that experienced over the past few years and with due consideration of the Public Benefit Guidance. Continued changes to local services and to charity guidance however means that the Trustees intend to continue to monitor working practices and the Trust’s administrative policy documents to ensure that the Trust’s funds and its applicants remain protected.
Investment income will be monitored over the next financial year due to market uncertainty and the trustees will take additional consideration as to the priority of each application much more carefully to ensure that they help the people who really do need the funds should the investment income be lower than predicted.
In order to meet its charitable need the board intends to manage the funds under their control in a prudent manner whilst at the same time maximising income generation and closely monitoring the Trust’s portfolio in conjunction with the Investment Manager.

Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
