SANDHU CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 fj/fARCH 2018
The Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2018.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accountsand comply with the Charitycharity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement ofRecommended Practice, applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the FinancialReporting Standard applicable In the UK and Republic of ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Charity was established as the long term focus for the philanthropic activities of Bim and Pardeep Sandhuand their family. It is anticipated that they will remain the prime donors of the Foundation for the foreseeablefuture as the Foundation does not actively fund-raise. It will seek to continue the charitable work desired bythe funders through the stewardship of its existing resources and by any further donations made by the funderand their related parties.
The Foundation does not currently undertake any direct charitable ectivity but meets its charitable objectivesby making grants to such charitable purposes, in any part of the world, as the Trustees in their absolutediscretion determine. Where activities are carried out in the rest of the world, other than in exceptionalcircumstances, the Foundation makes donations to other UK charities that oversee that work directly orindirectly in those countries. During the year no payments were made direct to overseas charities.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's generalguidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation's aims and objectives and setting the grant policyfor the year. It is the Board's current desire to support a variety of charities in line with the public benefitrequirement.
It is the short term policy of the Trustees to support individual charities or charitable causes in line with thegrant policy set. There are a limited number of charities that are beginning to receive regular annual fundinggrants. Donations are generally made to charitable institutions with very limited restrictions cunently beingapplied as to activity or geographical area. In particular, unlike many other charities, the Foundation is willingto provide unrestricted funding as this is ofien the most valuable form of funding from s recipient's perspective.The merits of each application are considered and, if required, further research carried out prior to a grantbeing made. Given the size of the Board, the Trustees meet on an informal basis to consider such donations.It is expected that the Foundation will continue to fund a variety of charitable causes although the focus islikely to continue to be those dealing with children, with education and health.
In the short term the policy of the Trustees is to expend a minimum of two-thirds of the net income arising peryear by way of charitable donations and where that ratio is exceeded to be supplemented, where necessary,from the capital of the Foundation. The Trustees are currently making donations significantly above thisminimum balance.
It remains the longer term intent of the Trustees to:
1. Formulate a more focused charitable strategy which will make a fundamental and long term difference tothe lives of the recipients; and
2. Become more directly involved in charitable work at the "grass roots" level and/or to identify and supportpartners on the specific objectives identified in 1 above on a more regular basis.
Afi Trustees give freely of their time and no Trustees' remuneration or other benefits were paid in the yearunder review. Any general administration costs, other than audit fees and bank charges are met by theSanton Capital Pic group ("The Santon Group') which is controlled by B.S. Sandhu.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Foundation undertakes its work through making direct financial contributions to the charitable activities it
supports as well as providing indirect support by assisting certain charities in their wider fundraising activities.Since inception the Foundation has made cash contributions of f1.913m and charitable commitments off0.479m totalling F2.392m.
1.Direct Financial Support
In the year under review the Trustees made grants and commitments totalling f314,000 (2017: F308,000) asdetailed in Note 6 to the Accounts. The Trustees note that the Foundation has now granted or committedf2.392 million of donations since it was established to 119different charitable organisations and causes.
During the year the Trustees made cash donations of F314,500 (2017: f300,000) to 27 different charities(2017: 27) averaging f11,648 (2017: F11,111) per donation. Of the cash payments made, f177,500 (2017:f201,000) was in respect of donation commitments made in prior years to 10 charities (2017: 12). TheTrustees also made f177,000 (2016: f209,000) of new commitments to 4 charities (2017: 10), averagingF44,250 (2017:f20, 900) per charity.
The Trustees made a number of donations for the benefit of children and especially their education needs.Many of the donations were made on a "matched" funding basis enabling the recipient charities to raiseadditional funds.
Whilst not wishing to signify the importance of any one donation over another we once again highlightexamples of charities which were funded by the Foundation during the year. This year we have focused onthree medical charities; two small chartities, in particular Ehlers-Danlos Support UK, and one large charity.
Ehlers-Danlos Support UK htt s llwwweh e - s or l)
Ehlers-Danlos Support UK ('EDS UK') was set up in 1987 to support, advise and inform those living with theEhlers-Danlos syndromes. EDS UK the only UK based charity that exclusively represents and supportspeople with all types of EDS.
EDS is a rare little known condition even amongst the GP community; never mind the generalpopulation. EDS is a genetic connective tissue disorder due to an abnormality in how the body makescollagen. Collagen is a protein which is the main building block of the body providing strength and support in
ligaments, tendons and cartilage. We are made up of a high percentage of collagen so Ehlers-Danlossyndrome can affect the whole body. EDS sufferers can also develop anxiety and depression as well as othersymptoms.
Although it is hereditary condition and with an individual from birth the symptoms can show up over a widerange of ages. There are seven different types of EDS viith Hypermobility being the most common with theothers being: Classical, Vascular, Kyphoscoliotic, Arthrochalasia, Dermatoparaxis and Tenascin X . One of themany factors which makes Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome difficult to live with is that it is an invisible illness—individuals often look well from the outside but are experiencing difficulties which others, including medicalprofessionals, cannot see or identify. EDS UK strives to educate the medical community, promote continuityof care, improve accurate diagnosis and provide information on specialist treatment and management of thecondition.
EDS UK runs regular events and conferences to bring the EDS community together and produces literatureand merchandise to increase understanding and improve management of the condition. EDS UK have over50 support groups around the country to provide members with a local peer support network, they run afreephone helpline which is available to everyone, including people with EDS as well as friends, families,carers, and healthcare professionals. They also fund vital research to further understand EDS, includingsearching for the gene responsible for the hypermobility type and working towards a cure.
SANDHU CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 )I/)ARCH 2018
The Foundation has agreed to support EDS UK in three main ways:
~ By helping raise awareness of EDS with the general public and donors;
~ By providing regular funding to cover general overheads of which F25,000 was paid during theyear and a further L25,000 committed;
~ By funding specific pieces of research towards which a commitment of f125,000 was madeduding the year in relation to the impact of diet on hypermobile EDS.
There are no drugs that target the EDS connective tissue abnormality. Current treatments include medicationto reduce the symptoms (not the cause), alongside physiotherapy for muscle and joint issues. Good nutrition
is essential for connective tissue repair and general healing. Certain nutdients are needed for the body tomake collagen and support connective tissue function. Identifying specific nutrients needed for connectivetissue function is important but to date there has very little research in this area. The Foundation has decidedto provide matched funding to a piece of research being undertaken by Professor Qasim Aziz and LisaJamieson at the Wingate Institute Neurogastroenterology at Queen Mary University of London to determinewhether symptoms can be reduced in hypermobile EDS patients through diet-based nutritional
intervention. The aim of the research is to improve the quality of life of patients with EDS through simple,inexpensive but effective dietary measures, whilst reducing the cost for the NHS.
Williams Syndrome Foundation(h //w'
m w ndr m or uk/)
Williams Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that occurs randomly and affects around one in 18,000people in the UK. It is non-hereditary and causes distinctive facial characteristics and a wide range of learningdifficulties. Infants oRen have delayed development and can develop physical and mental health problems,including anxiety and depression in later life.
The Williams Syndrome Foundation ('WSF') was formed as a chadity in 1980 with the aims of promotingresearch and providing help and support for families with affected children
The Foundation made a donation of F25,000 of unrestricted funding which enabled the WSF to hold anotherbiennial convention and continue other smaller projects.
ProstateCancerUK(htt s:// ros tecanceruk. or )
Prostate Cancer is currently the most common cancer in men, accounting for 25% of all cancer diagnoses and
by 2030 prostate cancer is set to become the most common cancer overall in the UK. Prostate Cancer UKhas a most ambitious 10 year plan, along with peer groups elsewhere in the world, to stop prostate cancerbeing a killer. We have been long term supporters of Prostate Cancer UK.
In December, 2017 the Foundation offered to provide 525, 000 towards a matched funding Chdistmas appealwhich focused on the advancement of precision medicine for prostate cancer. This is the first of its kind
research that aims to discover and test new treatment combinations in men with advanced prostate cancer assoon as they' re diagnosed. This means using each man's cancer DNA to discover the genetic change that' sdriving his prostate cancer, and matching it to the treatment that is most likely to halt the disease.
The matched funding appeal was extremely successful and in total the initiative raised over f70,000.
2. Non-Financial and Indirect Support
The Trustees and the Patron have been actively involved in helping with fundraising from third parties onbehalf of a number of charities to whom the Foundation has also donated funds.
The Chairman is an Ambassador to Magic Bus UK.
After 3 years as chair, Mrs Sandhu continued for a fourth year as Co-Chair of the lunch committee of TheAnne Frank Trust Holocaust Memodial Day Lunch which raised a record L480,000 during the year; makingtotal funds raised in the four years of over 51.7m.
Mrs Sandhu continued as Vice Chair of The Bursary Programme —one of the most ambitious in the UK —atLatymer Upper School and also helped organise fundraising events for The Lullaby Trust on behalf of theFoundation.
SANDHU CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Foundation is currently reliant largely on income and investment returns from its investments.
Investment income increased from 6239,915 in 2017 to 6264,955 in 2018. The Foundation accrued a loss ofF137,023 on its investment portfolio comprising a loss of 6333,710 on the Endowment Fund and a gain off196,687 on the unrestricted funds. The Endowment Fund is required to be invested in the Ordinary andPreference shares of Raven Property Group Limited and these assets underperformed during the year.
The Trustees Increased grant funding marginally from 6308,000 in 2017 to F314,000 in 2018.
The Trustees consider that the fixed assets investments of the Foundation are held to provide the annualincome to finance expenditure In line with the grant policy set. Reserves are normally considered to berepresented by net current assets but as at 31 March 2018 net current liabilities existed of F138,045. Howeverthe Trustees are confident that all the future commitments will be met out of future income arising or if
necessary by other means. A signNcant proportion of the unrestricted funds are held in highly liquid listedinvestments and in exceptional circumstances these could be liquidated to meet funding commitments.However, It is more fikely that if there was a short term cash flow issue interest free loans would be soughtfrom The Santon Group as they have been in the past and were during the year.
RISK ASSESSMENT
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Foundation is exposed, in particular those related tothe operations and finance of the Foundation, and have developed a risk management strategy whichinvolves the following:
1. An Annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the Foundation faces;2. The establishment of policies, systems and procedure to mitigate risks identiTied;3. The implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the
Foundation should those risks materialise.
The principal risk faced by the Foundation lies in the performance of its investments. The Trustees considerthat the Foundation should aim to seek a return of 7.5% pa on its investments in the medium term. This targetwas not achieved during the year largely due to the poor performance of the Raven Property Groupinvestment.
The Foundation seeks to invest its unrestricted fund in a diversied porffolio of listed and unlisted securitiesand these performed well during the year.
The Endowment Fund did not perform well in the year resulting in an overall negative investment return for theyear. It is condition of the donations made into the Endowment Fund that it can only be invested in thesecurities of Raven Property Group Limited (without the consent of the donor) and therefore the Foundationhas limited control over the return on this part of the investment porffolio.
Another major risk is the reliance of the Foundation on the founders; both from a funding perspective and anoperational perspective. It is the medium term intention of the Trustees to seek a wider family involvementand in the short term it is the intention of the trustees to convert the Foundation into a CIO and to appoint asuitable non family member(s) to the Board.
