Structure, governance and management

The company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 29 May 2007 and is aregistered charity number 1119576.The Whirlwind Charitable Trust was registered on 29 May 2007 utilising a generous donation fromthe Lister Charitable Trust. The aim has been to enable the Whirlwind Trustees to concentrate oncontinuing the good work - principally focused on delivering benefit to society through the supportand encouragement of youth, maritime and outdoor pursuits previously undertaken within the ListerCharitable Trust - whilst the LCT itself pursues a wider agenda.

Method of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-optedunder the terms of the Articles and Memorandum of Association. The Board of Trustees has thepower to appoint any other person as they shall think fit as a Trustee of the Board, by way ofaddition to the Board. There shall be at least three Trustees. When seeking new Trustees, theBoard members seek to identify skills gaps and relevant experience that would be of value to thecharity, potential applicants may be secured through advertising, referrals or personal contacts.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees

The charity has an induction policy in place for new Trustees. When new Trustees come on boardthey are briefed about the charity's aims and objectives, provided with detailed backgroundinformation, and informed of their responsibilities as Trustees. During a mutual six-monthprobationary period, prospective Trustees learn a great deal about the work of the charity and theresponsibilities involved before having to make a full commitment. The Trustees have access toregular training sessions to keep them updated with the latest developments.

Organisational structure and decision making

The Board of Trustees meets quarterly to review the activities of the charity, including but not limitedto: - the financial performance of the charity's investments; - relationships with the charity's professional advisers; - consideration of and decisions concerning donations applications; - and consideration/evaluation of reports received on the effectiveness of the charitable activities

Risk management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular thoserelated to the operations and finances of the company, and are satisfied that systems andprocedures are in place to mitigate the charity's exposure to the major risks.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities andPublic Benefit'.

Objectives and activities

Charitable objects

The charity aims to enhance the potential for a positive life experience for the young and, inparticular, those who are disadvantaged, disabled or at risk (and others whose opportunities areconstrained by hardship) by offering them: - positive character building experiences; - understanding of the value of team work and co-operation; - the opportunity to build self-belief and to develop aspirations by meeting challenge, particularly in

outdoor pursuits such as sailing; - practical help, guidance through mentoring, and access to positive role models; - environmental awareness and education.

In addition, the charity seeks to promote the importance of the maritime environment to humankindand to the global ecosystem - through research, education and conservation initiatives.

Strategies to achieve objects and public benefit

The Trustees ensure that its objectives are met and carried out for the public benefit by supportingother charitable organisations that have the capacity to deliver these objects. We want to create acommunity of those we have helped, people who will become future contributors whetherfinancially, practically, or as ambassadors/role models to our future efforts, so creating a snowballeffect.We also seek to establish charitable alliances where a project may be beyond the resources of onecharity alone.The mission of The Whirlwind Charitable Trust is to be an example of lean, imaginative andeffective giving using trust funds to maximum possible advantage and with minimum administrativewastage.We aim to grow the size of the trust fund and the scope of its activities to undertake an increasingamount of carefully focused charitable work over the years ahead.

Grant making policies

The Trust invites applications from all organisations that have the ability and/or capacity to deliverthe objects of the Trust. The Trustees meet quarterly to review all applications and those deemedappropriate to the charity's aim and objectives are passed to the secretariat for further action beforebeing returned to the Board for final approval.

Financial circumstances are not relevant in considering suitability for a grant, and the Trustees usetheir best endeavours to ensure that any such grant will be used for the purpose for which it wasapplied. All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year.Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and, in accordance with the Trust's policy,withdraw from discussions and decisions when any possibility of a conflict of interest arises.

Achievements and performance

Review of activities

The Trustees all value, from first-hand experience, the life enhancing qualities inherent in maritimeand outdoor pursuits (they also recognise the "challenge" is a relative matter, depending onexperience and mental and physical ability). In an age where health and safety consciousnessseems all too intent on displacing self-reliance, team work and character building, we stronglybelieve, for the wider benefit of society, in the importance of promoting such activities - especiallyfor those who can least afford it or are less physically able to participate.

We can see that our partnerships with the charities delivering our policies are becomingincreasingly productive with the benefit of seven years' accumulated experience of grantassessments, donations and impact reviews.

In one case, for example, this has led to an efficient three-year programme of support for a longterm charity partner; in others, we have been able to help refine or develop programmes tomaximise both the level of our support and the resulting impact. We have also continued towelcome new charity partners.

As always, we are guided by what we can learn about the impact of our support with input from thebeneficiaries themselves, wherever possible.

Aided by careful financial management of our resources, we are confident we can continue todevelop this policy. We have continued to provide funding to charities that spend wisely, charitiesthat focus our donations on achieving benefits for deserving individuals and society rather than onadministrative overheads.

Details of organisations supported by the Trust during the year are disclosed on our websitewww.whirlwindcharitabletrust.org.uk.

Investment policy and performance

The Trustees' financial management and donations policy recognises that, as a grant-giving trust,The Whirlwind Charitable Trust's sole source of income (and therefore of funds for donations) willfor the foreseeable future be derived from its capital base.

To buffer the capital base against inflation and adverse economic cycles, whilst also creating theconditions in which the capital base (and therefore long term donations) can grow, the Trusteestake a prudent view of donation levels in the shorter term. The performance of the Trust'sinvestment managers - Investec Wealth & Investment and Newton Investment Management - isbenchmarked against agreed targets and external indices.

Investec reports regularly to the Trustees on the performance of the investments through acombination of verbal and written reports. Newton communicates via quarterly reports and alsooffers access to investment managers.

The bespoke discretionary management service offered by Investec and the "pooled funds"capability provided through Newton Growth and Income Fund for Charities enable the Trustees tocompare the merits of the two differing investment styles, one against the other, as well as againstagreed benchmarks. A comparative review was carried out at the end of the first year, to thesatisfaction of the Trustees; the holdings and styles will continue to be kept under regular review.

Financial review

The net surplus before gains on investments of investments for the year amounted to £37,284,£38,452 surplus in respect of unrestricted funds and £1,168 surplus in respect of endowment funds.Gains on the revaluation of investments was £424,712 resulting in a net surplus of £461,996. As at31/5/15 the Trust had net current liabilities of £30,465 due to an increase in grants. The value ofWhirlwind's investment funds at 31.5.15 was £6,114,415; however by 07.12.15 they had fallen to£5,306,768 as a result of financial market conditions. Such fluctuations in value over time underlinethe importance of the Trustees' financial management and donations policy whereby we regularlyretain a proportion of capital growth in good years, thus ensuring we have the funds to maintaindonations levels in poor years and gradually increase donations over the longer term.

Reserves policy

The original donation from the Lister Charitable Trust forms the core of the charity's investmentsand as such is not to be spent down. In order to build the revenue, the Trustees have establishedan investment policy to ensure not only that the reserves of the charity are maintained, but that theyare enhanced by wise management of the investment return. Should there be an inadequate totalreturn, or a negative return, on the invested funds of the charity over any given year, the Trusteeswill make any donations on a purely discretionary basis in order to protect their ability to meet longerterm charitable aims.

Financial management and custodianship of funds

The Trustees' financial management and donations policy recognises that, as a grant-giving trust,The Whirlwind Charitable Trust's sole source of income (and therefore of funds for donations) willfor the foreseeable future be derived from its capital base.

To buffer the capital base against inflation and adverse economic cycles, whilst also creating thecondition in which the capital base (and therefore long term donations) can grow, the Trustees'policy is to retain from the total return on investments a sum equivalent to RPI + 1.5% (as a rollingaverage) of the invested funds of the charity, before allocating the balance to donations.

Future developments

In broad terms it is the Trustees' intention to continue with its successful charity business modelrather than seek change for change's sake, so developments will tend to be evolutionary rather thanrevolutionary.

That means we will continue to refine the means by which we seek to evaluate the impact of ourwork both individually (donation vs. individual project impact) and comparatively (comparison ofimpacts achieved between different projects for similar levels of donation).

Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors

In so far as the trustees are aware:

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware;and

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of anyrelevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
