WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF ENGINEERS CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their report and unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The unaudited financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and the requirements of the charity's trust deed.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable objects and activities
The main objects of the Trust, as laid out in the Trust Deed, are the acknowledgement of excellence in engineering, supporting engineering education and research, giving grants and - in exceptional circumstances - assisting in the support of hardship experienced by engineers and their dependents. The Trustees are given powers under the Trust Deed to manage the capital and disburse the income of the Trust as they determine to further those charitable objects; this is achieved by applying the awards and grant making policy below.
AWARDS AND GRANT MAKING POLICY
Major awards from restricted funds
While determining the annual budget for awards from restricted funds and retaining oversight, the Trustees delegate the detailed management of processes for the award of prizes from each of the restricted award funds to appropriately qualified and experienced award coordinators.
Minor awards and miscellaneous grants from unrestricted funds
With advice from an award coordinator and the Secretary, the Trustees make a small number of awards in recognition of engineering achievements by Armed Services personnel and individual small grants in support of graduate or postgraduate engineering education, hardship amongst professional engineers and general charitable purposes relevant to the livery ethos.
Public benefit statement
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011. They have considered the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission and believe that they have followed its guidance in this area. The Trustees’ report gives a description of the activities undertaken by the charity during the year in furtherance of its charitable purposes, and the Trustees are satisfied that all such activities provide a public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Review of activities
The objectives, as set out above, were achieved during the current year. Monetary prizes and grants to a total value of £93,150 (2020: £76,901) were made to individuals and organisations. No new award scheme was initiated in 2021.
2021 Trustees' review
During 2021, the Trustees began a review of its regular awards to ensure that they met with current aspirations and were delivering members’ expectations. The Hawley Award was re-branded to be more focussed on the achievement of zero carbon, and the regular payment to Redr (which was felt to offer little engineering impact) was replaced with an ‘Engineering Outreach Grant’ in 2021 to fund a significant part of a project delivered by water charity “Just A Drop”.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results for the year
A summary of the year’s results can be found on page 6 of the report and accounts. During the year, the Trustees received gifts of £69,190 (2020: £46,783) under gift aid from individuals and some businesses, and investments produced income of £49,167 (2020: £40,302). The total income for the year was £125,009 (2020: £87,085) and the Trustees, in accordance with the objects of the Trust, have made awards and grants totalling £98,226 (2020: £79,488). A modest income was received through a JustGiving account, set up to provide a means of collecting at virtual events.
Investment policy and performance
The Charity has a portfolio of investments with a market value as at 31 December 2021 of £1,864,461 (2020: £1,623,296). Despite 2021 being a turbulent year, the fund has seen a modest overall growth.
Investment powers held by the Trustees are exercised through the fund manager, Quilter Cheviot.
The Trustees measure the performance of the fund manager against the objective of a balance of capital growth and income with a medium level of risk. During the period the portfolio has returned 8.1% versus the agreed composite benchmark of market indices which returned 2.0%. The ARC Steady Growth Charity Index rose by an estimated 3.8% over the same period.
The Trustees are satisfied that their new investment policy is being pursued as agreed and are satisfied with the performance of the investments given the market dynamics and that their investment objectives are appropriate and are being met.
Reserves policy
The charity is operated as a grant giving charity and the Trustees’ policy is to seek to distribute the income arising each financial year.
The Trustees are of the opinion that the current level of unrestricted reserves provides sufficient flexibility to cover temporary shortfalls in incoming resources due to timing differences in income flows.
Financial position
The balance sheet shows total funds of £1,868,753 (2020: £1,653,159) of which £1,099,673 (2020: £981,029) were in restricted funds. The Trustees consider that this level of free reserves matches the parameters set out in the charity’s reserves policy above and they, therefore, consider free reserves to be adequate but not excessive.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Worshipful Company of Engineers’ Charitable Trust is governed by its original Trust Deed dated 4 July 1984 as amended on 27 March 2012, 13 February 2018 and 3 December 2020. The Trust is registered under the Charities Act 2011 with Charity Registration Number 289819 but uses the working name of “The Engineers’ Trust”.
The authority to propose Trustees is vested in the Worshipful Company of Engineers and is communicated by Resolution of the Court of Assistants of the Worshipful Company. The power to appoint Trustees is vested in the Trustees. There are no external parties who can appoint Trustees. When new Trustees are appointed, they are given an introduction to the work of the Trust and provided with the information they need to fulfil their role.
During the year the Trustees maintained and developed the Risk Register established in 2018.
The Trustees met quarterly with virtual or hybrid meetings to consider applications and approve grants, and additional working group meetings were held virtually to cover other aspects of the Trust’s business. Applications for grants should be made in writing, through the Company Office. The Secretary is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust, supported by the Clerk and Assistant Clerk of the Worshipful Company of Engineers.
Future plans
Arising from the Trustees’ normal fiduciary duties and also from specific recommendations of the 2012 and 2017 Policy Reviews and the 2020 survey of members, the principal issues to be carried forward are:
-
preservation of the real value of the Trust’s funds against the impact of inflation;
-
continued implementation of the agreement with the Royal Academy of Engineering to become its main financial supporter for the MacRobert award from 2014 for a period of 10 years;
-
improvements in the marketing of the Trust and in particular of its Awards, in particular to raise awareness of the activities of the Trust to the membership of the Worshipful Company of Engineers;
-
sustained improvements in targeting applicants and identifying the right level for publicising information for service awards;
-
continued support of the RAEng Engineers’ Trust Awards, of five prizes of £3,000 each for aspiring young engineers;
-
continued support of the IET Engineering Horizons Awards, of five annual prizes of £1,000 p.a. each for aspiring young engineers during their 4 years graduate/apprenticeship courses;
-
consider ongoing offering of the recently established Engineering Outreach Grant;
-
review of major awards for relevance and attractiveness;
-
consider two new substantial awards offered to the Trust;
-
develop a fundraising campaign aligned with the Trust's aspirations and identified against specific objectives.

WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF ENGINEERS CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 201 9 .
The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved applying ‘Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 201 9 ’ rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice referred to in the regulation but which has since been withdrawn.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102 .
The t rustee s consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
1.2 Income recognition
Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified of the amounts and settlement date. Donations include tax recoverable where applicable.
Investment income is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the income paid into the income account held by the investment managers.
1.3 Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Contractual arrangements and performance related grants are recognised as goods and services are supplied. Grant payments are recognised where there is a current or constructive obligation to pay. Resources expended are allocated to a particular activity where the costs relate directly to that activity and include attributable VAT when this cannot be recovered. Resources expended have been allocated on the basis indicated below:
Raising funds: These costs comprise investment management fees and the related irrecoverable VAT.
Charitable activities: These costs include grants, awards and related costs inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Support costs: These costs include all the management, administration and central functions that have been allocated to the charity's one activity. Support costs also include the costs of governance arrangements which relate to the general running of the charity as opposed to the direct management functions inherent in the charitable activity. This includes such items as external audit, legal advice for trustees and costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements, including trustee meetings. Support costs include the related irrecoverable VAT.
1.4 Unrestricted Funds
Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

1.5 Designated Funds
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
1.6 Restricted Funds
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs.
1.7 Permanent Endowment Funds
Permanent endowment funds are funds which have been given to the Charity to be held as capital with no power to convert the funds to income. Although the capital must be maintained for the benefit of the charity, any income derived from investment is available as unrestricted funds.
2 Trustees
None of the trustees (or any persons connected with them) received any payments or remuneration during the year.
During the year, trustees donated a total of £ 4,330 (20 20 : £ 3,555 ) to the charity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
7 Purpose of restricted funds
Sir Peter Gadsden Britain Australia Bicentennial Engineering Award Fund
Established in 1991 by a donation from the Britain Australia Bicentennial Trust, the fund is used to finance scholarship or bursaries to encourage the study of engineering by UK and Australian nationals in the other country. The late Sir Peter Gadsden was Chairman of the Britain Australia Bicentennial Committee. No new awards were made in 2020. The original capital sum was £15,000. The Gadsden Award, now depleted after awarding a number of grants in recent years for worthwhile research, is now, effectively, closed. The residue is earmarked by Trustees for their annual grant to the Ironbridge Foundation.
Cadzow Smith Engineering Award Fund
Established in 1996, the Cadzow Smith Engineering Awards were endowed by the Eastern Group plc in recognition of the outstanding services to engineering of its former Chairman, the late Dr James C Smith CBE FREng FRSE a former Past Master of The Worshipful Company of Engineers. The Awards are for excellence on an accredited undergraduate engineering course conducted at one of the eleven universities within London and the Home Counties. Besides academic excellence, the recipients of the Awards must have demonstrated self-confidence, professional awareness, leadership and sound common sense. There was one award in 2021. The original capital sum was £50,000.
Stephenson Award Fund
In 1997, members of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers made donations to fund a Worshipful Company of Engineers Loving Cup to mark the Institution’s 150th Anniversary. Donations in excess of those needed for the Loving Cup were used to establish the Stephenson Award and further donations were received from members in later years, supplemented by a substantial grant from Rolls-Royce plc. The Award is for those who have been particularly successful in encouraging young people to study engineering with an emphasis, but not exclusively, on mechanical engineering. There was one award in 2021. There is no requirement to maintain the capital sum.
Baroness Platt of Writtle Engineering Award (formerly the Dr Lucy Hoesch Ernst Scholarship Fund)
Established in 1943 under the Will of Dr Lucy Hoesch Ernst and appropriated to the Worshipful Company of Engineers Charitable Trust Fund by a resolution of the Trustees on 14th April 1998, subsequent donations were received from The Dulverton Trust. The Award was originally established to recognise engineering excellence amongst those pursuing final year studies leading to the academic qualifications for entry to the Engineering Council's Incorporated Engineer grade but, from 2013, was refocused to those who achieved registration as Incorporated Engineer in the preceding calendar year. The Award is named after Court Assistant Emeritus The Baroness Platt of Writtle CBE FREng in recognition of her work in support of the Engineering profession in general and Incorporated Engineers in particular. There was one award in 2020. The original capital sum was £17,000.
Fiona and Nicholas Hawley Award Fund
The Fiona and Nicholas Hawley Award was established in 2006 from an initial donation by the Master 2005/06, Dr R Hawley, and subsequent donations from individuals and organisations achieved a capital fund level to set the annual cash prize at £5,000. The Award is made annually to recognise excellent work in “Engineering for a Better Environment” by a resident of the UK, under 30 years of age at the date of submission, who holds a graduate or post-graduate degree in engineering or science from a recognised UK university, or who is studying for a post-graduate degree at such a university. The Award is aimed at inspiring younger engineers who can best demonstrate the application of proven technology, which they have developed, to make positive improvements to the environment. There was one award in 2021. The Award’s original capital sum was £125,000.

7 Purpose of restricted funds
(Continued)
Leete Award Fund
Established in 2012 under the Will of Liveryman Dr David Leete, the capital fund is managed as a discrete, ring-fenced fund within the Charitable Trust on the basis that the real value of the fund should be retained, protected and if possible enhanced against the effects of inflation. The purpose of the fund is for making awards in what Dr Leete called Production Engineering Research and defined sufficiently broadly to encompass the whole field of what is now known as Manufacturing Research. Awards may be made to individual researchers, or to groups of researchers, or to individual project schemes or groups of schemes, or to a combination of these; the term “researchers” includes independent researchers and those in universities, establishments, companies and the armed services. There were no new awards, but one existing 3-year award (at £6,000 p.a.) continued in 2021. The original capital sum was £462,754.
