The members of the Charity Committee are provided with the guidance contained in the Charity Commission'5 general guidance on public benef it and refer to such guidance when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

Endowments The Charity holds two endowments: the General Endowment,. and the Frederick Milward Scholarship Fund. The income of the General Endowment is unrestrirted and is used to fund the general charitable activities of the Charity. The income of the Frederick Milward Scholarship Fund is restricted to the provision of bursaries and scholarships to students from Redditch undertaking undergraduate studies in STEM subjerts. The income has not been sufficient to make appropriate grants a nd has been held as a restricted fund. Investments There are no specif ic investment powers or restrictions in the Trust Deed. The Charity operates withri the powers granted by the Trustee Act 2(KK) in making decisions in relation to investments. The managementof the investments is delegated to expert investment managers on behalf of the Trustee. Regular reports are provided by the Investment Manager to the Trustee. The investments are managed bythe Company's Finance and General Purposes Committee, which is advised by the Charity's Investment Oversight Group. The Investment Fund is invested in a spread of investments (see note 2to the accounts) to meet the policy of investing on the basis of balanced I medium to higher risk with regard to the overall rate of return in capital growth and income. The endowmentfunds are invested to ensure thatthe value of the investments is maintained while ensuring that income is generated. The portrolio is reviewed regularly by the investment adviser and the Finance and General Purposes Committee of the Trustee. Changes are made taking into account the advice of the investment adviser. Duringthe previous year, the funds were moved to a collective investment scheme operated by Quilter Cheviot as planned. The Trustee aims to grant income generated f rom investments but may also make grants from capital or current donations. The portfolio comprised of investments valued at £3,038,661 and cash of £0 at 3tr September2023. There was an increase in capital value of the investments of £85,744 see Note 2 of the accounts. Review of grant making pollcv The Charity carries out its objectives by providing grant5 to a significant number of individuals and organisations. The Trustee is f ully satisfied thatthe Charity operatesforthe widerpublic benefit in all that it does in its charitable activities. During the year, building on work already done, the Charity Committee review ed the charitable giving that was ongoing or which was coming to the end of its funding cycle li.e. multi-yearf ixed term grants were not subject to review). The purpose was to assess if it was still relevant, to ensure that it was meaningful tothe recipients, whetherany changes needed to be made and how the impact should be reported to Liverymen.

Achievements and performan The Charity achieved its objettive of making grants in the fields of.. education,. welfare,. the fabric of the historic buildings within the City of London- and focused use of needles and related industry. Education In terms of education, the Charity continued to f und or part fund, bursaries at- City of London School for Girls Christ's Hospital,. and King Edward's School, Witley. The Charity does not have the skills to assess bursary students or need, therefore, the Charityworks with the Schools to identrfy suitable candidates and the relevant schools undertake the required assessment of need and recommend students to the Charity for approval. In relation to- Christ's Hospital the funding for the current pupil was provided as a single grant at the commencement of the pupil's education with the School. The Master has met with the pupil and reports are provided by the School as to progress and the child is deve loping and enjowng the school- King Edward's School, Witley - the Charity worked with the Royal Springboard Children's Foundation to jointty fund the bursary for a pupil in the 2018119 financial year. Continued Fundingfrom the school, the Charity and Royalspringboard allowed the child to board during term time to ensure that the child was properly supported. Royal Springboard f unding also covered the costs of extra-curricular activities. Again, the Master has met the child and reports that the child is developing well at the school. Overall, the bursaries help individual young people in difficult f inancial circumstances achieve their full potential and develop into the community, providinga wide public benefitto their communities. We are also seeing a trickle effectwhich encourages a numberof those connected with the recipients of the bursaries to develop in education, this ranges from parents of the supported children to other children in the community. The Charity values its association with TreloarSchool and College which provides education to dISab￿d young people. The Charity provides a grant for the general charitable purposes of the school. In addition funding has been provided for two members of staff to undergo further specialist training which they will pass on to other members of staff. Historically, the Charity has been associated with manyschools and provides small prizes consisting of an inscribed book and cash prize of up to £50. This encourages children to pursue education and develops a knowledge of the charitable activities of the Charity. The annualwoodwind competition concert and prize giving atthe Guildhall School of Mu51C took pla as planned. The Charity has provided supportforsome years forextra-mural activitiesfor the pupils of Old Palace School, which is located in an area of London of great deprivation. G rants, especially for education, are made for an average period of three years. At the end of that time the outcomes are reviewed and the grant may cease or be renewed for a further term. The

support foran apprentice at WM Smith and Son was paused in an earlier year and the apprentice has not yet been replaced. Needle Focused Grants We have subsequently continued oursupport of the work of Fine Cell Work, which works with prison inmates to provide needle related skills which provides support within prison and transferable skills which may be used following their release. The Charity has continued to provide grantsto the Royal College of Surgeons and the Royal College of Nursing Foundation to provide specialist training bursaries for medical professionals who would not otherwise be able to afford the training courses. This is to develop surgical and nursing skills for the general benefit of the public. The Master, Wardens, Clerk and Chairperson of the Charity Committee were able to attend a Zoom meetingwith the President, teachingstaff and the bursary winners atthe Royal College of Surgeonsto hearthe progressthat has been made.A report has been provided to the Company's liaison with the Royal College of Nursing Foundation regarding the awards made during the year. The respective colleges undertake the assessment of need. Studygrants were also provKled to City University School of N ursing. Given the engineering origins of the Needlemakers Company encouragement is given to the development of those working or seeking to work in STEM subjects. Support is given to students studyingfor City and Guilds qualif ications and also a programme of two-yearbur5aries forArkwright scholars to support and encourage high school students in STEM subjectswith a viewto developing a career in engineering/technology. It is experted that the number of Arkwright scholarships will be increased in the following year. The Smallpeice Trust which administers the scholarships provides excellent support and development opportunities for the students. By virtue oAOffice and City of London The Honorary Chaplain requested that a grant be made to his di5cretionaryf undto allow emergenLy funding in his diocese. The Charity was delighted to make this award to assist the Lord Bishop in relieving poverty and other needs in his diocese. The Charities chosen by the Master to receive grants were divided equally between Thrombosi% U Royal British Legion and Museum of London Ibanners project). The Charity also provided grants to the Sheriff'sand Recorder's Fund and the Guildhall School of Musr and Drama. Funding was also provided for welfare of people in the City of London. How our artivities deliver public benefit The Charity is delighted that its grants created a positive impact on the lives of numerous people. The training provided in engineering and health will assist people for many years to come. The Charity makes grants to a wide range of Benef iciaries for Education, Religious, Welfare and other purposes recommended bythe Charity Committee. The Trustee considers that these grants, set out in detail under Note 3 to the financial statements, provide benef its to the wider community. As can be seen from above. the public benef it that has been provided includes.. relief of poverty of those in need; the development of educational skills for those in need,. the development of surgical and nursing skills,. rehabilitation of offenders and provision of new skills to assist following a jail term redu reoffending rates and 5UPPOrting those in need;

relief of those in need as a result of disability- ensuring the conservation of heritage and the historic fabric of the City of London; preservation of historic artefacts for the knowledge of the public,. development of training roles in STEM subjects to ensure continued development in this importantarea.and ensuring that historic skills are recorded, understood and records are maintained for posterity.

The net deficit of the Unrestricted General Fund for the year was £1,70912022: surplus £9,308). Investments are reviewed annually. It was noted that the value of the investments decreased f ollowing the effects of the economic uncertainties and world events in the markets. Grants expendttureduringthe year pernote 3 was £97,23212022.. £93,9871 and detailed on pages 16 and 17. In 2018119, commitments of £8,(JJJ per annum for 7 years to King Edward's School and £9,880 per annum (increasing f urtherf rom September20231 to the Arkwright Scholarship were made and these are ref lerted in the accounts. As can be seen fromthe f igures there has been a small increase in donations from Liverymen belmeen 2022 and 2023. The Chairperson of the Charity Committee is reviewing artions which can be undertaken to increase regular donations to the Charity. It is the aim of the current Chairperson of the Charity Committeeto undertakework to increase regukir donations to the Charity. Funding sources In this year, the principal sources of funding were.. donations from a variety of Sources including Liverymen of the Company from former Liverymen ofthe Company,. and investment income. Historically. the principal f unding of the Investment Fund has come f rom legacies and donationsfrom people connected to the Company. The Charitywas originally established to administer funding from the Company and a bequest of Past Mastercharles Crossingham who died in 1952. subsequent￿ the following f unds were incorporated into the Charity

The Lewis Bayman Charity The Hargreaves-Beare Charity The G H Corbett-m ilward Memorial Fund The Joyce Elizabeth Dangerfield Prize Fund The Alexander Dudgeon Legacy The AJ P Griggs Memorial Fund The HuEh George Exhibitions Fund The Frederick Milward Scholarship Charity A gift of £5Q),OCtJ was received f rom'The Chamberlain Foundation, and was added tothe Investsment Fund a number of years ago. Other gifts received f rom time to time have also been added to the capital fund. During the year 201712018, a Liveryman bequeathed the sum of £2SO,O(K) to the Charitable Fund, this will be invested in the short term and the capital value will be expended over time on appropriate projects. In this financial year, the sum of £20,000 was received from a legacy and has been applied in 3 similar manner. Investment Policy. Objectives and Restrictions From the outset, donations and legacies recenied have been credited to the Investment Fund forthe purpose of building up a suff icient amount in the Investment Fund togenerate enough income from the Charitable Fund's investments to coverthe charitable grant making of the Company. In addition. any appreciation of the underlying investment5 has also been deemed to be part of the Investment Fund. When f und5 are recewed by the Charity, the Trustee reviews the f unds, takes advice and either allocates them to the Investment Fund or directs that the funds are made available to the Charity Committee for application to appropriate grants. The f unds included in the I nvestment Fund of the Charity are intended to be kept for the long term with only the income being distributed. Therefore, an extremely long investment perspective has been taken. The objective is to maximise the long-term f low of income in real terms Wlth due regard to risk. A balance ha5to be struck between the interests of the present and f uture generations of benef iciarEs therefore part of the assets may be invested for a higher immediate income. Prior regard has to be given to risk which is why an elementof diversification is required. The portfdK) is managed on a balanced / medium to higher risk discretionary basis, with a balanced investment objective and a time horizon in excess of five years. The costs of management need to be kept to a minimum as these have to be taken out of income. However, we have to be seen to have taken proper advice as well as having someone to hold our investments. Employees and Volunteers The Charity has no employees and the administration services provided by the Clerk are donated by the Company. All other activities are undertaken byvolunteers. Therefore,there are no supportcosts incurred in respect of the Charity's activities. The Charity is operated by volunteers sourced through the Company. The Charity has been assisted by approximately 30 volunteers during the year as.. members of the Charity Committee,.

appointed links between the Charity and the grant recipients and benef iciaries- the Honorary Treasurer. The Chairperson of the Charity Committee would like to thank her predecessorand all othermembers of the Charity Committee for their assistance during the year along with those volunteers acting as the link between the Chartty and the beneficiaries. The Chairperson also wishesto thankthe Clerk for her work throughout the year. Risks and Uncertainties At present, the Charity is not reliant on donations income and can continue to make signif icant grants f rom investment income in a standard year. The key risks to the Charity are.. events which impart on the world financial systems reducing both the capital value of the investments of the Charity and potentially income- Liverymen in the Company not providing additional donations; Liverymen in the Company not leaving the Charity legacies. Systems are in place to protett the Charity and its assets against fraud and training is undertaken for all those with f inancial access to ensure that the impact of fraud will be limited or eliminated. Fundraislng The Chartty engages in limited fundraising outside of the Company and does not solicit public donations. The Charity is not a member of the Fundraising Regulator but is aware of its policies and procedures and ensures that it does not engage donorsto give more than they can afford and works to ensure that donors are supported. Reser4es Policy The Charity has considerable investments which allow it to undertake its work. These are caref ully managed to ensure that inf lation does not reduce the value of the investments and the impact of the Charitv. The costs of the Charity are limited to the fees of the investment manager. All othercosts are met by the Company as a donation in kind. Therefore, the need for reserves to coverthe costs of the Charity is limited. A reserve of £20,(YJO is maintained for these purposes. It is the intention of the Charity that it is always in a position to make annual grants. Situations may arise where there are no annual donations received and there is limited investment income. In such cases grants can still be maintained and the Charitygenerally retains additional cash of approximate £70,(M)O to allow it to make grants even if income is disrupted. Approval and Commlttees This report was prepared by the Chairperson of the Charity Committee and the Honorary Treasurer for the Trustee. The Charity Committee reviewed the text of this report for accuracv. ststement of Responsibilities The Trustee has resolved that financial statements are prepared for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the State of affairs of the Charitable Fund and of the income and expenditure of the f und forthat period. In preparingthose financial statements, the Charity Committee, on beha￿of the Court, is required to..

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The Trustee, supported by the Charity Committee, is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the f inancial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with relevant legislation. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the preventIC￿ and detertion of fraud and other irregularities. The day to day handling of these matters is dealt with by the Clerk and the Treasurer on the Trustee's behalf. Signed on behalf of the Tw5tee on July2024by MrT.
