Trustee selection methods

Trustees are appointed by existing Trustees under statutory power.

(eg. appointed by, elected by) Trustees are currently members of the family of Ethel and Gwynne Morgan who have volunteered to act as Trustees and are considered by all the other Trustees to have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience. The number of Trustees should provide sufficient control over the safeguarding of the charity’s assets and grant making processes whilst not adding excessively to administration. It is currently envisaged that there be at least one Trustee from each of Brian Morgan and Lindsay Morgan's descendants. The existing trustees were delighted to welcome Emma Cookson to the Board this year. She was proposed by Helen Morgan and seconded by Richard Morgan and appointed at the AGM.

Additional governance issues (Optional information)

Given the size of the charity there is no formal induction of new Trustees. However Emma Cookson attended a trustee meeting prior to her appointment so that she was familiar with the way the charity works. On appointment she was provided with a copy of the governing document and a link to the Charities Commission guidance CC3A on the role of a charity trustees.

trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

There are no related parties.

Section C Objectives and activities

The object of the charity as set out in the governing document is to apply annual income with power to apply capital to such charities or for such charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit with precatory provisions for

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

the advancement of education in the science and art of medicine in all its branches including both the diagnosis and cure of disease, the knowledge of how disease comes to be, of its earliest beginning and its prevention
the advancement of education in the history and welfare of local communities in Wales
the advancement of the Christian religion in Wales and in particular by teaching of the difference between good and evil and the preservation of centres of devotion hallowed by the ages

3Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

The main activity of the charity is grant making. A breakdown of the total of grants as per the accounts is appended.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers.

After covering limited direct costs Trustees aim to use all of the investment income making grants.

Trustees consider all applications. They consider favourably grants that satisfy the precatory provisions which were based on the concerns of Ethel, Gwynne and Hugh Morgan in their lifetimes. However they are now, at their discretion, also making charitable grants that reflect the interests of the wider family.

Recognising that nationwide and international charities play a useful part in addressing causes for the public benefit the Trustees support a number of these. However, they have also given attention to local or specific charities where it is considered that the grant will make a significant difference.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

During the year under review the charity had income of £138,694 (Prior year £100,025). The trustees were very satisfied with this result.

With other concerns having impacted grant making in recent years, the trustees had resolved to increase grant making activities this financial year. The increased level of income magnified the need.

The objective was certainly met. The trustees succeeded in applying the enhanced income to make grants of £111,775 (£44,065) in the year to 5 April 2024. As well as growth in the number of benefitting organisations to 56 (40), grant amounts were also increased. The average was £1,996 (£1,102).

49% (71%) of grants made were in the health, education and religion charitable purpose categories as per the precatory provisions of the governing document. The broadening range of causes supported reflects the wide interests of the trustees. Suggestions from the wider family were also invited and contributed to the breadth. Those received from the younger generation have been particularly welcome.

The Trustees were proud to support the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales again – with grants of £20,000 this year. This covered bursaries for a second student starting in Sep 2023, two students starting in Sep 24 and £5,000 towards postgraduate course operational costs. Helen Morgan has been very proactive in liaising with the Centre and the students to follow progress with the projects concerned.

Another significant and regular beneficiary, with a grant of £5,000 this year, was Ocean Youth Trust. Richard Morgan joined the team as a volunteer on 3 occasions this year so can vouch personally for the positive impact made.

A one off grant of £5,000 was made to Care and Repair Western Bay in the hope that other people rendered less able can benefit from home modifications like those that have been of such assistance to Lindsay Morgan.

Letters/emails of acknowledgement, particularly from the smaller and more narrowly focussed bodies supported by grants, highlight the benefits derived by those whom they in turn support. It is heartening to read comments such as:

These funds will make a significant difference to helping us deliver our vital services
Without the kindness of others the Charity wouldn’t be able to keep seriously ill children in hospital close to their loved ones.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you once again for your so fantastic support !
I just wanted to let you know that I spoke to H’s current teacher yesterday. Her ipad has been life changing.

Section D Achievements and performance

The increased grant making activity has been made possible through the combined efforts of the Executive Committee, formally established at the Trustees meeting of 24 April 2023 and currently comprising Richard Morgan, Helen Morgan and Beth Talbott.

The members of the Executive Committee have shared the administrative burden with 5 meetings held during the financial year 2023-4, chaired by Helen The members have continued to build relationships with the organisations the Trust supports. Sterling work has also been done to improve systems and ensure that appropriate policies are in place to comply with Charities Commission guidance and best practice.

As part of this initiative Beth continued work on the Grant Making Process including acknowledgements/confirmations and Richard complemented this with his Operational Guidance manual, which included information about sharing of documents between Trustees on a dedicated drive, Helen led on a risk management strategy– identifying risks, and procedures that should mitigate them, and documenting the exercise. The final risk register was presented to the Trustees on 4 March 2024. Helen also introduced a Conflict of Interest policy and successfully cajoled all trustees into submitting a declaration. Beth and Helen together produced a Serious Incident reporting policy. Helen also sorted out trustees insurance cover.

The investment policy set out in Section E was deemed sufficient. The senior Trustees are indebted to the members of the Executive Committee who in their own time, coordinate and administer the grant making process and the other aspects of the Trust’s work.

Emma Cookson has agreed to lead on the engagement of the younger generation, through social media if appropriate. The trustees look forward to hearing more from Emma and her cousins.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

Details of any funds materially in deficit

The Trustees policy on reserves is to maintain sufficient cash at bank to enable grants to be made on an ongoing basis and to provide for grants promised in principle.

N/A

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

	The principal source of funds is investment income.
	The Trustees' policy on investment has been to protect the capital value of its investments and maintain a level of income that supports its grant
	making activities. To do so it needs to keep pace with inflation (a tracking
	spreadsheet to ensure growth remains under RPI over a rolling 10 year
	period was set up this year). The Trustees have agreed that they do not wish to grow the capital value, preferring to focus on spending the income on grant making.
	Given their limited expertise the Trustees have relied on the advice of Cazenove Capital Management to realise their objectives.
	Reports are received quarterly in paper format and can be viewed
	online at any time. The members of the Executive Committee all have online access.
	The move in May 22 of all funds to SUTL Cazenove Charity Sustainable

TAR

Multi- Asset Fund - a charity fund with an ethical focus and lower charges- has again proved to be a wise decision. Distributions from the fund of £138,694 were more than anticipated. On the other hand the management fees charged by Cazenove at £7,607 were less than the £11,992 charged the previous year. The Trustees were therefore satisfied with Cazenove’s performance. When combined with the management fees, expenditure amounted to 87% of income – a level of activity with which the Trustees are justifiably pleased. At the end of the period the charity held net assets of £3,300,485 (£141.204 in cash and £3,159,280 in investments/other assets less liabilities). The prior year total was £3,187,190. ~~_~~ Section F Other optional information The new risk register produced by the Executive Committee was presented to the trustees on 4 March 2024. As a result of the disciplined review that this required of all the activities of the charity and the principal risks faced (and mitigating factors):  Trustee Insurance has been put in place  A Conflict of interest policy and declarations have been introduced  The document storage system has been tightened up The appointment of accountants is to be kept under review – the Trustees need to be sure that they would be alerted to any potential compliance issues from changing government policy/law/regulations. The Trustees need to ensure that the work of the Trust is kept clear and simple. Section G Declaration ~~___~~ The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
