## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of freland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## Constitution and objectives of the Charity 

The objectives of the Charity changed with the closure of Whitton School by Powys County Council. The Charity remains true to its principal of promoting the education of children who either attended the school prior to closure or who reside (or have resided) in the local areas articulated in the Charity Commission Scheme; namely, the communities of Cascob, Discoed, Litton, Pilleth and Whitton in the County of Powys and as well as other local areas at the discretion of the Trustees, Public benefit In setting our aims and planning our activities the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit and the PBE provisions of FRS 102. 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 

The Charity aims to promote the education of children and young adults who either attended Whitton Primary School or live in — the£7,475,local area. Grants are awarded at the discretion of the Trustees. A total of23 grants were awarded during 2020 amounting to Covid restrictions meant that the grasskeep had to be put out to tender rather than auctioned, this resulted in a lower income from the land. 

During the year a substantial sum has been spent on renovation and maintenance work, mainly on the School House. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Financial review The trustees consider that the performance of the charity in 2020 has been satisfactory and has enabled direct charitable expenditure of £7,475 (2019 - £4,275), 

The year to 31 December 2020 showed net outgoing resource of £28,703 (2019 - net incoming resources - £11,019). 

The M&G "Charifund" units produced an unrealised {oss in the year of £5,939. (2019 unrealised gain £4,878) 

The trustees believe that existing reserves and incoming resources from investments including the Charity lands are sufficient to maintain the objects of the charity into the foreseeable future. Investment policy and objectives The trustees adopt a low risk, secure investment policy whilst aiming to maximise returns. 

## Reserves policy 

The Charity's incoming resources arise in the main from the annual letting of agricultural land, the rent from the School House and from the investment income of the accumulated fund. The maintenance costs can vary considerably from one year to another and in some years can be substantial. 

The trustees maintain reserves to balance the fluctuations of both incoming resources and expenditure from one year to another and to provide investinent income. 

The accumulated funds at 31 December 2020 amounted to £1 649,401, of which £t,450,000 was attributable to the value of investment property. 

## FUTURE PLANS 

The trustees wil] continue to maintain the objectives of promoting the education of pupils up to the age of 25.
