## **THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF LAUNDERERS BENEVOLENT TRUST FUND TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT PERIOD ENDED 31 MAY 2025** 

## REFERENCE INFORMATION 

The Worshipful Company of Launderers Benevolent Trust Fund (the "Charity") is registered with the Charity Commission under no 262750 and is constituted by a Declaration of Trust dated 14 February 1963. 

The sole office of the Charity is at Launderers' Hall, 9 Montague Close, London Bridge, London SE1 9DD. 

## TRUSTEES 

The Trustees of the Charity are the Master, Deputy Master and the two Wardens of the The Worshipful Company of Launderers ("the Company") at any one time.  The Company elects and installs its new Master and Wardens in June/July each year.  In normal circumstances a person will be a member of Master and Wardens ( and thus a Trustee) for a period of four years 

The current Trustees are as follows: John Shonfeld Master Charles Betteridge Deputy Master Graham Oakley Senior Warden Alistair James Mackinder Renter Warden 

## GOVERNANCE 

The Objects of the Benevolent Trust Fund are set out in the ordinances of the Worshipful Company of Launderers and are :- To provide relief to existing and retired members of the Laundry Industry suffering hardship and to the wives, widows, children, orphans or others depending upon them; 

Education in matters relating to the Craft of Laundering and kindred occupations (the "Craft") and scholarships, prizes and research in connnection therewith, including the establishment or maintenance of schools or colleges; Sponsorship for character development schemes for young persons; Support for writing Technical Textbooks for the Craft; Donations to charitable causes in the City of London and elsewhere; and 

for any other charitable objects as agreed by the Court of the Worshipful Company of Launderers. 

In January 1998 the Laundry and Cleaning Education Trust Fund became a restricted fund of the Charity; this fund has well defined objects. The fund is to be applied in or towards the promotion, encouragement and improvement of general scientific and technological knowledge and education of persons engaged in or about to engage in the Laundry and Cleaning Industries, or in any employment manual or otherwise connected therewith. 

The tragic death of Murray Simpson led to "The Murray Simpson Memorial Fund" being formed. Agreement has been made with the Textile Services Association that the administration of the Fund be carried out as a separate part of the Education Fund. Further details can be seen in Note 1.6 in the notes to the accounts. 

A generous gift has enabled the Oliver Family Education Fund to be established within the Education Fund.  The aims of the Fund shall be to offer financial support to provide industry training events, directed towards leadership and management in the first instance.  Further details can be seen in note 1.7 in the notes to the accounts. 

In March 2002, at the instigation of Past Master Richard Orford, the Charity created a Capital Endowment Fund with the purpose of increasing the Charity's capital base. There is no separate governing document: the intention is for the capital to be retained and the investment income is credited to the General Fund where it is available for distribution as grants. 

Long term member and past master, the late Arthur Kennedy, set up a fund to provide long term financial support for our industry's education. The principal amount of the fund of £150,000 was designated to be invested, and not spent while the investment income can be used for the specific purpose as defined by the donor for education and spent at the discretion of the Education Committee of the Livery, and supported by the court.

## **THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF LAUNDERERS BENEVOLENT TRUST FUND TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)** 

The Charity is administrered by two Committees of the Company:the Benevolent Committee  and Education Committee.  During the period to 31st May 2025 the Benevolent Committee was  chaired by Past Master Paul Higgs and the Education Committee by Current Master John Shonfeld. 

The Clerk, Margaret Campbell, since retired, attended most of the meetings of the Committees and carried out the day to day administration.  Accounts are prepared by the Treasurer, Carolyn Denise Shacklady who is also reponsible for the Annual Report and Accounts. 

The Trustees employ the services of an independent firm of stockbrokers Messrs Ravenscroft Investments (UK) Ltd , to advise them on the management of the Charity's investments.  The Charity's investments are held in collective funds in order to ensure adequate spread of risk. 

## MANAGEMENT OF INVESTMENTS 

The investments are managed as a single portfolio having regard to the objectives and policies determined by the Trustees. 

In previous accounts the total portfolio has been attributed to the funds as if they were separate portfolios. The Trustees have reviewed this approach and consider that it does not reflect the manner in which the total portfolio is managed. 

Accordingly, in these accounts, the year end value of investments attributable to individual funds has been determined by reference to the attributable percentage as at the year end. Income is distributed to each fund according to percentages at the time.  The percentages only change with capital contributions to or capital withdrawls from the pooled investment fund. Details of the portfolio and the effective allocation percentages are shown in note 7 on Page 12. 

## PUBLIC BENEFIT 

Throughout the year, when considering applications for support received by the Charity, the Trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.  Requests for support from individuals were considerered based upon their association with Craft and their need, without regard to their geographical location or other restriction.  Other charities receiving grants are normally based in or have specific activities within the City of London or within the area of Southwark: in these cases, the Trustees ensure that the charities concerned have clearly defined benefits and that there are no obvious restrictions on the availability of such benefits. 

The Statement of Financial Activities on page 6 shows that the total income of the Charity for the period amounted to £36,142  (2024: £33,828) , total grants made (shown in detail in note 2) amounted to £31,461 (2024 : £36,113).   During the year the General Fund provided monthly grants to 1 former member of the industry or their dependents. 

The market valuation of the Charity's investments showed a gain for the period  of £3,796  (2024 : £16,381). 

## RESERVE POLICY 

The Trustees have adopted the policy of, wherever possible, spending the annual income of each of the funds during the year. Any undistributed income for the year is available for distribution in subsequent years.  In addition, the intention is to protect the existing capital base of the Charity against inflation over the medium term.  The Trustees consider that the present reserves of the funds are the minimum required to provide sufficient income from which to meet the many requests for help made to them.

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)** 

## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).  The Law applicable to Charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts 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 period.  In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are resonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. 

## COURT OF ASSISTANTS RESPONSIBILITES 

The Trustees are 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 as amended in 2022, the Charity (Accounts and Reports ) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed.  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 Trustees confirm that the Charity's assets are available and adequate to fulfil the obligations  of the Charity.

## 1.5 Capital Endowment Fund 

The Capital Endowment Fund is not subject to a separate governing document: the intention is for the capital to be retained and that the investment income is disbtributed as grants via the General Fund.   Accordingly the investment income is credited direct to the General Fund. 

## 1.6 Murray Simpson Memorial Fund 

The untimely tragic death of Murray Simpson showed a groundswell of support to create a lasting legacy for Murray. Discussions with the Textile Services Association and the Worshipful Company of Launderers agreed that the Launderers Benevolent Fund was best placed for the administration of the Fund. 

The agreement with the TSA includes the following terms: 

The Fund would only be used for supporting the Textile Rental Management Course in some way, be that a scholarship general subsidy or some other means, so  that it is within the Benevolent Education Fund. 

A separate category would be established as a subsidiary category of the Education Trust 

Surplus funds would be invested in line with the same principles adopted by the Trust, e.g. with Ravenscroft. 

Dispositions would be administered by the Education Committee taking the advice of the Fund Committee. 

The Fund Committee will comprise, TSA Chairman, TSA Treasurer, The Master, and the Treasurer of the Worshipful Company of Launderers and a representative of the family. 

## 1.7 Oliver Family Education Trust 

A generous donation has enabled the following fund with the Education Committee to be set up. The aim of the fund is to provide financial support to provide industry training events, directed towards leadership and management in the first instance 

All monies will be held on behalf of the Fund by the the Worshipful Company of Launderers Benevolent Trust Fund ( the "Benevolent Trust") in a separate sub-category of the Education Trust. 

The original gift will be invested in common with the practices adopted by the Benevolent Trust and any income generated will be credited to the Fund's Designated Account. 

Proposed dispositions from the Fund will be recommended by the Committee to the Education Committee of the Launderers ( the "Education Committee") and such recommendations will be actioned by the Education Committee unless to do so would breach the terms ofthe Education  Trust Deed. 

Whilst it is the intention to make dispositions only out of income there shall be no restricion on the amount of any single dispostion nor on the aggregate of dispositions in any period of time. 

As the aims of the Fund fall within the Charitable  purposes  of the Education Trust  any individual contributions may be given  under Gift Aid and the related tax will be claimed by the Education Trust and credited to the Fund's Designated Account. 

The Treasurer of the Launderers will provide reports to the Committees at the same time as reports are provided to the Education Committee  for its regular meetings which are currently normally held in January, March, June and October. 

The Committee will comprise: 

The Master of the Launderers, The Treasurer of the Launderers, Roger Oliver and initially as advisors, Stuart Boyd and John Shonfeld.
