REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 30 September 2020
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2020. This is a directors' report required by s417 of the Companies Act 2006 and all trustees are directors. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and the requirements of the Memorandum & Articles of Association.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Friends of Peterhouse is a non-profit making company limited by guarantee, without a share capital, and is registered as a charity with the Charity Commissioners.
The objects of the company are the advancement of the educational and other charitable work of Peterhouse in the University of Cambridge.
Grantmaking
All grants are made at the discretion of the Council for the benefit of the College and its members. When allocating funds, the Council gives due weight to any suggestions made by the College as to appropriate subjects for assistance.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's objectives and activities and in the planning of future activities. It is the judgement of the trustees that activities in pursuit of the above objectives fully meet the public benefit test, which they have kept in mind in planning programmes for the charity. In delivering services and in the appointment of trustees the charity operates a strict policy of no discrimination on any grounds.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the year the Council continued to receive support from the members of the Friends and from others associated with Peterhouse. The main grants during the year were £75,000 for student hardship (including £50,000 for COVID related student welfare) and £35,500 towards the cost of a college counsellor and a mental health adviser.
Investment performance
The Charity's funds are managed by the Charity's Investment and Finance Committee which is chaired by David Burnett and also includes the Chairman, the Honorary Treasurer, Q Quan and Christopher Duffett, the majority of whom have either had successful careers in Finance or are currently active in investment markets. The Charity invests in a combination of equity tracker funds reflecting global economic capital growth and other funds specifically designed for charities. Gains of £86,449 (2019: £35,238) were made during the year. Income received from investments amounted to £35,916 (2019: £57,584).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Council to continue to build up the capital of the Charity for the longer term benefit of Peterhouse while also providing more immediate support for the current educational and other charitable activities of the College. As a general principle it is the policy to spend each year up to 4% of the accumulated general fund and up to 100% of general donations received.
The reserves at 30 September 2020 were £1,880,428 and £253,355 for the General and Medical Funds respectively (2019: £1,776,895 and £345,924 respectively).

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The Articles of Association provide that the affairs of the charity are to be managed by its Council of Management, and that the members of the Council shall not be less than 8 or more than 16 in number.
