The principal
aims and activities for the trustees
is the upkeep of the homes and
gardens
at Stewartby
and to provide
a safe and
friendly
environment
for the
people who occupy the homes.
In order to achieve their objectives, the trustees
use the trust funds to maintain
the homes and gardens
and the general
running
costs of the estate. The homes are gradually
being
modernised
as appropriate
planning
permissions
are obtained
and as funds permit.
Objectives of the
Charity: The objects ofthe trust (see above) are clearly ofpublic benefit both directly and
indirectly. The Trustees have complied
with the duty
in part 1,chapter 1, section
4ofthe Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance
published
by the Charity.
The Trustees have the power to spend income and capital.
Achievements and
performance: The Charity's
main activities and who
it tries to help are described above. All of its
charitable
activities are focussed on achieving
its objectives and are undertaking
a
modernisation
programme,
subject

planning
permissions
and
funds
available,
ofthe homes and pathways
to further
its work towards the benefit of its
beneficiaries.
The Trustees
met three times this year to review the running
of the Sir Malcolm

the investment
of the trust funds,
the financial
situation
and any
other
matters
adising.
They received
reports
from the bursar
who liaises on a
regular basis with the other trustees.

site and
report
to the
bursar.
The
bursar
is responsible
for supervising
the
maintenance
ofthe estate.

Investment
Policy: The investment
policy agreed
with
Rathbones,
the Investment
Manager,

For the year ended 30 September 2022,
the
overall
return
decreased
by 15.018/0 (2021 23.499%). Given
the volatile
stock market conditions,
the trustees accept the performance
over the year.

with property
and the running
ofthe homes which
are covered
by comprehensive
insurance,
the Trustees
do not consider that the
Chadity

to any
major
risk, other than
market
risks
in relation

have delegated
management
of the portfolio
to
professional
managers,
though
they review their performance
regularly.

of the Charity
have increased
by f284,136 during
the year
ended
