DAME ANNA CHILD'S CHARITY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR EI NDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The trustees present their repoit with the financial statements of the ch￿'Ity for the year ended
31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the pi'ovisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities:
Ststsinent of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accoi'dance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republi¢ of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective l January
2019).
During the year the Charity sadly suffered the loss of a key trustee, the vice chair Nigel Morgan. Nigel has made
a considerable contribution to the charity over the yeaTS and his enthusiasm dedication will be greatly missed.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Con5tilution and objectlves of Ihe Charity
The Charity rernains trlie to its principal of promoting the education of childreffj including social and physical
training, who either attended the school prior to closw'e or who reside (or have resided) in the local areas
articulated in the Charity ConMIis3ion Scheme. namely, the coinmunities of Cascob, Discoed, Litton, Pilleth and
Whitton in the County of Powys and as well &s other local areas at the discretion of the Trustees.
Public benefit
In setting our aims and pla]ming oiir artivities the trustees have given carefftl cousideration to the Charity
Commissions general guidance on public benefit and the PBE provigions of FRS 102.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PII RFORMANCE
Tbe Charity aims to promote the education of Ghildren and young adults who either attended Whitton Primary
School or live in the local area. Grants are awarded at the di5CTetion of the Trustee5. Durillg the previous year the
Trustees increased the standard grant award from £350 to £500 to take into account risings costs.
A total of 8 grants were awarded during 2024 arnounting to £4,000.
A total of16 grants were awarded during 2023 a￿Ounting lo £7,100.
FINANCIAL REVIKW
Financial revfiew
The tt'ust¢es Consider that the perfornianoe of the Charity in 2024 has been satisfactory and has enabled direct
charitable expenditure of £4,000 (2023 £7,100). The trusteeg continuo to actively seek grallt applications and
raise awareness of the charity to potential beneficiaries through advertisement in local press and word of tnouth.
The year to 31 December 2024 showed net incoming resources of £18,717 (2023 net iJ]comiug resources
£16,800).
Tbe trustees opted to change the M&G Charifund investment type in the ye￿, from income to accumulation units.
The M&G Charifund income units produced a gain in the year of £1,772. (2023 loss £712).
The M&G CharifLmd accumulation units produced a loss upon revaluation of £941.
The Mistees believe that existing reserves and incoming resources from investments including the Charity lands
are sufficient to maintain the objects of the charity i.nto the foreseeable future.
Investm¢llt policy and objectives
Tbe trustees adopt a low risk, secure investtnent policy whilst ain]ing to maximise returns.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The ChaTity's incoming r¢8ources arise in the n￿1n from the annual letting of agricultural land, the rent from the
School House and from the investment income of the a¢¢umulated fund, The n￿inten&￿Ce costs vary
onsid¢i'ably fi'om one year to another and in some years can be substantial.
The trustees maintaln resfflyes to balance the flucknations of both incoining resources and expenditt]r¢ from one
year to another and to provide inveslment income.
The accumulated funds at 31 December 2024 amounted to £1,866.468 of wliich £l,620,000 was atlyibutable to
the valiie of ￿nVeStment property.
FUTURE PLANS
The trustees will continue to maintain the objectives of proinotillg the education of pupils up to the age of 25.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governlng document
The Charity is controlled by its governing document dated 7 A￿.11 1982 and subsequent amendments and
constittites uninrorpordtod Charity fomerly known as Dame Atma Child's Endowed School. The Charity Gan
trace the original benefaction to the early eighteenth century.
ReerultnJenÉ and training of new trustees
The trustees are co-opted and re-elected yearly. The trustees are recrnited for their breadth and depth of
knowledge and experiell¢e. Trustees are encouraged to undergo training to brief them on their legal obligations
under Charity Law. On appointment they are briefed on the ¢ontents of Ihe Trust deed, tbe committee and
decision nwking processes and the reLent F￿ancial perforniance of the Charity.
Related parties
Two conunittee ll￿MberS tooli grasskeep from the charity during the year. A separate sub committee (The Land
Committee) handles the grass letting and any trustees who tender for the land are not pern]itted io serve on it,
This avoids any confliot of interest arising. The grags lettings are handled on behalf of the Charity by an
independent agent.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is ¢xposod and to ensure
appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error,
The principle risks faced by the Charity lie in the performance of investments alld operational rigkg regarding the
apacity to make effective grants. To mitigate risk the trustees review investments and grants annually.

Two trustees took ￿a5$keep from the ¢harity during the year. A separate sub con]mittee of trustees (The

serve on it. This avoids any conflict of interest arising. The grass lettings are handled on behalf of the
charity by an independent agent.
