The trust is a registered charity. The governing instrument is a Deed of Trust made on 9 December 1920, revised by The Charity Commissioners for England and Wales with effect from 12 July 1999 and again on 16 April 2016.

The method of appointment of trustees is contained in the governing documents. Trustees are also members of Homeopathy UK’s Council and simultaneously guarantee members of the company.

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period.

The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

No trustee has received any remuneration, aside from out-of-pocket expenses.

• As a public library for the housing and reading of the publications of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann and his immediate disciples.

• As a place for the supply and propagation of information to the public of places where reliable homeopathic medicines may be obtained.

In addition, the following Scheme was approved and established on 31 October 1967:

• The object of the above-mentioned charity shall be the advancement of the teaching and practice of homeopathy and research in matters relating to homeopathy.

ACTIVITIES OF THE CHARITY:

Previous years:

The items of furniture belonging to Dr Samuel Hahnemann, which were loaned to the town of Koethen in Germany where Hahnemann lived for sixteen years, continue to be displayed at Hahnemann House and the Castle Museum.

• In 2017/18, a committee was established to:

• Review all aspects of the collection

• Catalogue and photograph all artefacts

• Determine how to maximise public viewing of artefacts

It was agreed to establish an online museum to ensure the largest number of people could view and appreciate the artefacts. A new visual identity was created for the charity and in October 2019, the website www.hahnemannouse.org launched.

Activities during the year:

During the last financial year, the charity has undertaken the following work:

Organisational work : on-going review, storage and cataloguing of documentation and artefacts. This includes all letters from Hahnemann, Sir John Weir and other key people from homeopathy's history.

Historian, Mel Draper PhD has edited and enhanced several hundred of these histories which have been integrated into the Trust’s website, providing users with an even richer experience.

• Promote the Trust more widely and create its own social media accounts.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the Trustee as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
