Objectives and Activities
a. Policies and objectives
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charitable Trust commission relating to public benefit.
Against this background, the objectives of the Charitable Trust are as follows.
“The Trustees shall out of the income of the Charitable Trust defray the expenses of the administration of the fund and subject thereto shall hold the same upon trust for such of the following objects and in such shares and proportions as they think fit that is to say: (a) the relief of poor persons engaged in the cleaning industry, commerce and the public service and the wives, widows, children and other dependents of such persons being in necessitous financial circumstances; (b) the furtherance of education and training in connection with the
advancement of hygiene within the community; and (c) the benefit of such charitable institutions purpose or purposes in such shares between them if more than one as the Trustees with the consent of the Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners shall from time to time think fit with power of such consent as aforesaid (but with prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) to apply the whole of any part or parts or such income in or towards the establishment of any charitable institution or organisation.”
The Charitable Trust has a clear vision:
“The Charitable Trust aims to be the leading facilitator of Environmental / Cleaning related charitable activities. The Charitable Trust will achieve this by leveraging the resources, funds and pro bono skills of the Cleaning Sector (commercial organisations, professional bodies and individuals), by partnering with carefully selected charities and by the generosity and charitable activities of all of the Company’s membership.”
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
At the core of our strategy the Charitable Trust builds ongoing relationships with organisations to provide multiyear funding. These relationships allow the Trustees to work with the organisations they are funding to ensure our objectives are reached.
Additionally, each year the Trustees consider new applications. If approved the impact of these grants is reviewed to consider whether further support is appropriate.
c. Activities for achieving objectives
The Trustees are reviewing the application process to ensure that it is both rigorous but not onerous for applicants.
A review of how grants are assessed is underway and will be reported on in the next financial year.
Fundraising
The Charitable Trust relies on the generosity of members of the Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners. A review of existing donors has been undertaken to encourage support. Regular communication of the impact of grants is communicated to the members.
Grant Making
The Trustees started a review into the grant making strategy with a view to ensure maximum impact. The review was completed over the last 12 months. Geographical cover was reviewed; and it was decided that beneficiaries with links to London were most appropriate, although other beneficiaries with clear links to the activities of the Charitable Trust were to be considered. Grant sizes were considered and appropriateness of grants in respect of the activities.
A full list of grant recipients is below.
Processes and operational
The Trustees wanted the following principles to be embedded in our activities:
-
Create a clear story for our donors – members, trusts and companies.
-
Our grant making process should reflect the sector’s best practice, commensurate with our size.
-
Our application process must be robust but also not a barrier
d. Main activities
The Charitable Trust operates by making grants to other educational and charitable organisations to achieve the Charitable Trust’s objectives
In the 2024 financial year the level of grants increased from £43,506 to £57,409. This is increase was partly due to reinstating lapsed grants, and partly due to receiving more requests than in the previous financial year.

-
Education
-
Young People
-
Other Charities
-
Trade / Families

Trustees’ responsibilities statement
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements 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 financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charitable Trust and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Independent examiners
The Independent examiners, V4th, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The Trustees have approved a motion re-appointing the independent examiners at a meeting of the Trustees.

The Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners Charity Trust Independent Examiners Report
Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners Charity Trust
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners Charity Trust for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
