Each session begins with an informal participatory concert led by Live Music Now young professional musicians, trained to work with older communities and those living with dementia, followed by time for refreshments and socialising. Presenting the music in the form of a regular social event and giving everyone an active choice of programme provides an excellent forum to make new friends, build optimism, confidence and self-esteem. The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust has supported Live Music Now since 1996 and this year a grant of £4,000 is supporting Songs and Scones in care and community settings across London.

GL8 8SQ (from 1st April 2015) The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 4 Historical Background The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust was founded by the late Dame Bridget D’Oyly Carte, DBE in 1972 as an endowed grant-making foundation. Dame Bridget was the grand-daughter of Richard D’Oyly Carte, the theatrical impresario who famously built and opened the Savoy Theatre in 1881 and the Savoy Hotel in 1889. She was a Director and Vice-Chairman of The Savoy Group (which included the Savoy Hotel and the Savoy Theatre) and established The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust to support her personal interests - other than the Gilbert & Sullivan operas. Certain charities in which she took a special interest during her lifetime continue to be supported by the Trustees. 1998 marked a turning point in the history of the Trust when the Trustees, after taking legal and financial advice, and with the approval of the Charity Commissioners, agreed to sell their shares in The Savoy Hotel PLC (The Savoy Group) to Blackstone Hotel Acquisitions Company at a total price of £39,043,535. This sum formed the capital assets of the Trust which have since been invested in a diversified portfolio of investments. Over the years the Trustees have sought to uphold the aims, interests and values of the Trust’s benefactor, while adapting to the changing needs of the modern charitable world. They feel privileged and proud to be able to support such a diverse range of charities seeking in some way to improve people’s lives. Dame Bridget D’Oyly Carte, DBE 1908-1985 The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 5 Governing Document The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust became a Company Limited by Guarantee in 2005. In November that year a new company (No. 5638406 Registered in England) was set up and subsequently registered by the Charity Commission as The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust under Charity Registration No. 1112457 in December 2005. The Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 14th September 2005 and the operations and assets transferred to the Company as from 1st April, 2006. The initial members of the Company were the subscribers to the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and, in relation to the Companies Act 2006, the Trustees are also Directors of the Company. Measuring Impact and Public Benefit As a grant-making Trust, providing public benefit is at the heart of the Trust’s activity, as demonstrated in the pages that follow in this Report. In exercising their powers and duties, the Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting grant making policy. Charitable Objective The Trust’s objective is to make grants to Registered Charities concerned with the advancement of such exclusively charitable objects as the Trustees shall from time to time determine, in particular (but not limited to) the advancement of the arts, health and medical welfare and environmental protection or improvement, especially within the priorities of its grants policy. The review of the past year on pages 17-37 and the full list of grants on pages 47 to 59 demonstrate that this objective continues to be achieved. The majority of the Trust’s grant-making is reactive and is measured against what individual charities are seeking to achieve. In most cases The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is one of several funders and cannot therefore take sole credit for the outcomes achieved. The Trustees aim to create impact by supporting work that changes people’s lives for the better and this is where public benefit is most directly achieved. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 6 Grant-making Priorities 2015-18 Notwithstanding the Trust’s overall charitable objectives for the public benefit, the Trustees regularly review their policies, objectives and guidelines, and, following a full review in November 2014, determined that their grant-making priorities for the three years 2015-2018 would focus on:The Arts Promotion of access, education and excellence in the arts for young people to increase their opportunities to become involved outside school and to build future audiences with special emphasis on choral singing for children and young people to encourage recruitment into choirs Access to the arts for people who have least access to them Performance development opportunities in the performing arts for those in the early stages of their careers, encouraging involvement in the community through performances and workshops for the benefit of those with special needs and those who would otherwise have no opportunity to hear or participate in a live performance Support for charities seeking to engage with young people on the fringes of society through music and drama projects to improve their employability and diminish the risk of social exclusion Medical Welfare Provision of music and art therapy to improve the quality of life for the elderly and the disabled, and in palliative care and in hospices, especially hospices operating in low income and/or remote parts of the UK Support for charities concerned with alleviating the suffering of adults and children with medical conditions who have difficulty finding support through traditional sources The welfare of those who care for others through the provision of holidays for those carers who wouldn’t normally have a break from their responsibilities – and with emphasis on projects and schemes that allow young carers to enjoy being children Support for charities seeking to rehabilitate young people on the fringes of society to improve their employability and diminish the risk of social exclusion The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 7 The Environment Conservation of the countryside and its woodlands, with emphasis on the encouragement of voluntary work and active involvement in hands-on activities, particularly activities that bring about positive changes in the lives of young people Protection of species within the UK and their habitats under threat or in decline Heritage conservation within the UK based on value to, and use by the local community – the Trust favours projects that seek to create a new use for fine buildings of architectural and historic merit to encourage the widest possible cross-section of use. The Trust does not normally support major restorations but may support a specific element if identified as appropriate to the aims of the Trust Rural crafts and skills in heritage conservation, with emphasis on increasingly rare skills that would otherwise be lost Social and therapeutic horticulture: projects that use gardening or other environmental activities to bring about positive changes in the lives of those who are living with disabilities or ill-health For projects working with children and young people, or vulnerable adults, it is the applicant charity’s responsibility to have correct and up-to-date policies and procedures in place. Grant-making Restrictions/Exclusions The Trust is unlikely to support/respond to applications relating to the following: Advocacy Animal welfare Campaigning or lobbying Capital projects (unless a specific element falls within the Trust’s remit) Community transport organisations or services Conferences and Seminars Counselling and psychotherapy services Cultural Festivals Drug abuse or alcoholism rehabilitation Educational projects linked to the National Curriculum Endowments Exhibitions Expeditions and overseas travel The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 8 Friend/Parent Teacher Associations General and round-robin appeals Individuals Large national charities Medical Research NHS hospitals for operational and building costs Organisations that are not Registered Charities (or accepted as Exempt Charities) Projects taking place or benefiting people outside the UK Recordings and commissioning of new works Religious causes and activities Routine maintenance of religious or historic buildings Replacement or subsidy of statutory funding or for work we consider should be funded by Government Sport Umbrella organisations Universities, Colleges and Schools (other than those dedicated to the arts) Schools, Nurseries and Playgroups (other than those for special needs children) Works to enable a building to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 2010 The Trustees do not consider requests from charities that have had an application turned down until two years have elapsed after the date of rejection. The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is entirely separate from the aims and objectives of The D’Oyly Carte Opera Trust. Trustees The Governing Document allows for up to a maximum of ten and a minimum of three Trustees (also Directors for the purpose of company law) and those Trustees who served during the year were Jeremy Leigh Pemberton, CBE, DL (Chairman), Henry Freeland RIBA, Andrew Jackson, Dr. Michael O’Brien, FRCP, Francesca Radcliffe, Julia Sibley MBE and Andrew Wimble who succeeded Jeremy Leigh Pemberton as Chairman of the Investment Committee in October 2015. Jeremy Leigh Pemberton remains a member of the Investment Committee with Julia Sibley. The Trustees are also the Members of the Company and, under the terms of its Articles, every Member promises, if the Charity is dissolved while he or she remains a member, or within 12 months afterwards, to pay up to £10 towards the costs of dissolution and the liabilities incurred by the Charity while he or she was a member. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 9 Trustees are selected based on the knowledge and skills they can contribute to the aims of the Trust. Potential Trustees are interviewed by the Chairman, one other Trustee and the Executive Director, and a recommendation is then placed before the Board of Trustees for approval. All Trustees are experienced and actively involved with other charities and give their time voluntarily, receiving no financial benefit from the charity. During the year, Trustees attended a range of charity governance and investment seminars, and, amongst many others, Jeremy Leigh Pemberton attended the annual seminar for Charity Trustees hosted by Cazenove Capital Management and Andrew Wimble attended the 13th Charity Finance Charity Investment Forum. Governance The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is committed to applying the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in its business activities. The Trustees, also being Directors of the Company, and the Executive Director (the Company Secretary), recognise their duty to ensure that the charity is compliant with the law and are committed to good governance and to implementing and enforcing effective systems throughout the organisation to prevent any improper conduct arising in their business dealings. Against the background of the Trust’s work as defined in its objects, the Trustees consider that the risk of the charity contravening The Bribery Act 2010 to be very small. For the avoidance of doubt, however, The Trustees of The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust expressly prohibit anyone associated with the charity from offering, giving, soliciting or accepting any bribe (of whatever nature) in order to advantage in any way the charity, applicant charities, themselves or persons/businesses connected with either. Hospitality Register A Hospitality Register is maintained to record visits made by Trustees and staff to grant beneficiaries to whom grants are made or from whom grants are requested so as to monitor performance and standards in relation to grants made or applications received. Register of Trustees’ Interests In accordance with the Charity Commissioners’ recommendation that charity trustees who may have a personal interest in any matter before the trustees should declare that interest and refrain from taking part in any discussion relating to it, a Register of Trustees’ interests is maintained and updated annually. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Executive Director, and, in accordance with the Trust’s policy, withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 10 In addition, the connection of any Trustee with any application for a grant is not only noted in the papers circulated prior to a Trustee meeting but also declared at the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting afterwards. Any such Trustee takes no part in any decision regarding any such application. Appointment of Auditor Baker Tilly Audit UK LLP was reappointed as Auditor for the year ended 31st March 2015. Management The Trust is operated from offices managed by The Savoy and the Trustees continue to be grateful for the facilities made available to them. The day to day management of the Trust’s business is carried out by the Executive Director whose remuneration for the time she spends in managing the Trust’s affairs is charged through The Savoy. The Executive Director is neither a Trustee nor a Director of the Company. During the year the Trust developed a bespoke version of the Salesforce Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system suitable for grant-makers, with support from The Trust Partnership. This system now replaces the Trust’s old Access database, and a new online application and reporting system via the Trust’s website www.doylycartecharitabletrust.org became available from 1st April 2015. It is anticipated that the Salesforce CRM will significantly streamline the Trust’s grant administration and at the same time provide improved analytical tools for impact reporting. Salesforce is a powerful cloud-based CRM system configured to manage the Trust’s complete end-to-end grant process. It is both highly secure and easily accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Applications are received through an online form with Salesforce tracking where the applications are within the Trust’s grant process. Reports, documentation, reminders and letters are easily produced. The Salesforce Foundation donates systems with ten user licences free to registered charities. The Trust’s accounting function has been outsourced to The Trust Partnership since 1st February 2013 and from the 1st April 2015 The Trust Partnership will also become responsible for the administration of grant applications under the guidance of the Executive Director. The Trust Partnership is a specialist organisation with a diverse range of service offerings for trusts and grant making charities. With a flexible approach to clients’ requirements, its ‘shared services’ infrastructure aims to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Its services to charities include Charity Administration, Grant Management, Book-keeping and Accounting. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 11 The Year under Review For the year ended 31st March 2015, total incoming resources amounted to £1,557,171 compared to £1,361,483 in the previous year, an increase of 14.4%. Grants agreed during the year amounted to £1,118,643, a slight decrease of 11% compared to the previous year when grants totalling £1,257,351 were agreed. Support costs increased during the year from £55,685 to £57,401 (an increase of 3.1%) and there was also a 39.8% increase in Governance costs from £27,812 in 2013/14 to £38,893, due largely to investment review consultancy fees (see page 15) and IT costs relating to the Trust’s new website and the implementation of online application. Costs of Generating Funds (Investment Management fees) increased by 5.4% from £181,890 in 2013/14 to £191,795 in the year under review. Annual Costs Comparison Costs of generating funds Governance costs Support costs £181,890 £191,795 £27,812 £38,893 £55,685 2013/14 £57,401 2014/15 £1,257,351 Grants agreed £1,118,643 £1,361,483 Incoming resources £1,557,171 The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 12 Application Procedure The Trustees make grants for charitable activity which they hope will improve the quality of life for people, especially those who are disadvantaged in some way. The Trustees concentrate this activity by supporting charities in specific areas of interest connected with the arts, medical welfare and the environment, as reflected in their Grant-making Priorities. The Trust invites applications from charities whose operational area is within the United Kingdom. The majority of applications are considered by the Trustees three times a year in March, July and November. Applications from individuals are not considered. From 1st April 2015 registered charities wishing to apply for a grant are requested to do so online via the Trust’s website www.doylycartecharitabletrust.org. Applicants are required to study the Trust’s online Guidelines before submitting an application to ensure full compliance and an eligibility portal indicates whether an application can proceed to the online application form. Once an application has been submitted via the website an automatically generated response will confirm receipt to the applicant, with a copy of their application. Full guidance is available on the website, and, if needed, additional help can be obtained by telephone from the Grants Administrator on 0203 637 3003 or by email [email protected]. As the Trust receives a very large number of applications, and inevitably is unable to respond positively to each and every one, a filtering system is operated. Each application is fully assessed and those deemed to merit further consideration are discussed by the Trustees at one of their three grant-making meetings throughout the year in March, July and November. The majority of grants awarded by the Trust are on a one-off basis although term grants are occasionally agreed for a maximum period of three years, particularly in respect of bursary funding for arts education. The Trustees have continued their commitment to make grants to charities that do not enjoy a high profile in order to create significant impact on the work of the charity concerned; and, recognising the day-to-day funding needs of charities, the Trustees continue to consider applications for core costs. Further information on grants made during the year follows in the Grant Activity section of this report and a full list of grants appears at the end of the financial section. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 13 Grant Monitoring and Evaluation The public benefit of funding by the Trust is measured against the achievements of the charities funded by the Trust. Grant recipients are required to meet the Trust’s reporting requirements, which are communicated when a grant is awarded. The Trust’s grant monitoring and reporting process through its website aims to be ‘light touch’ and is intended to give Trustees an idea of what each grant has achieved. The Trust seeks to avoid a disproportionate reliance on complex procedures both in the application process and in systematic attempts to evaluate the benefit achieved by its grants. The benefit of understanding the impact of a small grant that has made a huge difference to someone’s quality of life is often outweighed by the effort in attempting to prove it. The Trustees endorse the belief that a good relationship between the funder and the funded should be based on trust and mutual respect on both sides. Grant recipients are required to submit their report on the benefit achieved by the Trust’s grants online through the Trust’s website www.doylycartecharitabletrust.org within twelve months of receiving their grant; and, as many of the Trust’s grants are contributions to projects also supported by one or several other donors, we happily accept information that has been prepared for another funder if this is appropriate. Above all, it is the guiding policy of the Trustees to make the best possible use of the Trust’s resources in supporting a wide cross-section of charitable activities within the Trust’s stated remit. The Trustees hope that they achieve this successfully by making carefully considered grant decisions and by seeking to ensure that their grants are used effectively without imposing disproportionate reporting conditions on grantees. The move to online application and reporting is an important component of the Trust’s succession planning and upgrading processes as new cost-effective support and technology becomes available. It is anticipated that not only will the new Salesforce CRM system make the application process more streamlined and accessible for grant seekers but it will also improve accessibility to valuable information for the Trustees which will greatly assist them in their decision-making and in monitoring and evaluating the benefit of their grants. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 14 Investment Management The Trustees have the power to delegate discretionary powers of investment and all investments held by the Trust have been acquired in accordance with these powers. The Investment Committee meets at the end of each quarter during the year and reports to each of the three Trustee meetings throughout the year. Investment Managers are in attendance at all four Investment Committee meetings at the end of each quarter to report on the performance of the funds under their management. The value of the portfolio at the end of the year was: As at 31st March 2015 £51,457,505 As at 31st March 2014 £48,321,611 Mindful of their obligation under the Trustee Act 2000 to conduct periodic independent investment reviews, during the year the Trustees instructed Portfolio Review Services to carry out a full evaluation of their investment management in October 2014. As a result, Cazenove Capital Management (CCM) was reappointed and Investec Wealth & Investment Ltd. was appointed to take over the portfolio hitherto managed by Lazard Asset Management. The portfolio was transferred to Investec at the beginning of February 2015. Subject to satisfactory service and performance, the Trust’s Investment Managers are reappointed on an annual basis. Investment Policy and Objectives The Trust’s investment performance objectives are ‘to provide for increases in annual grant giving while preserving the fund’s capital base in real terms, using a total return approach’. Funds are invested by the Investment Managers to maximize total return while providing a level of income agreed annually by the Trustees. This policy allows the Trustees to draw on capital in order to meet the annual spending target and helps mitigate the impact of any decrease in income. The Trustees have an Investment Policy in place with their Investment Managers, which is reviewed annually by the Investment Committee and by the Trustees. Financial Review Equity markets continued to make progress during the year with the FTSE All Share returning +6.6% to 31st March 2015. Overseas equity markets generated impressive returns with the MSCI World Index returning +19.1%, predominately lead by the United States. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 15 After generating a negative return in the previous year, Gilts returned +13.9% as the 10 year Government Bond yield moved from 2.7% to 1.6% over the year, primarily due to weak European and Chinese growth and falls in the oil price. Cash returns have again been minimal with the UK base rate remaining stable at +0.5% p.a. Over the year to 31st March 2015 the portfolio managed by CCM produced a total return of +9.4% compared with the long-term target of RPI + 4% p.a. which returned +4.9%. The portfolio has a diversified spread of assets, investing in a combination of equities, bonds, absolute return, property, private equity, commodities and cash designed to maintain the real capital value whilst generating a stable and sustainable level of income to fund grant making. The portfolio has a lower projected level of volatility (or risk) than an all-equity portfolio, due to the diverse asset allocation. The portfolio managed by Lazard, which was fully invested in the Lazard Diversified Charity Fund until the end of January 2015, had a benchmark of 50% FTSE All-Share Index, 25% MSCI All Countries World Index and FTSE World ex UK Index and 25% FTA British Govt. All Stocks Index. At the end of Q3 the portfolio had returned 6.26%, marginally underperforming its custom benchmark return of 6.67%. Following the Trustees’ decision to move the portfolio managed by Lazard to Investec Wealth & Investment Ltd., the transfer took place at the beginning of February 2015 and was fully reinvested by year-end within the agreed benchmark of 50% FTSE All-Share Index, 25% FTSE World ex UK Index, 20% FTA British Govt. All Stocks Index and 5% IPD Property Index. Reserves Policy The Trust Fund represents an amount allocated by the Trustees to secure the long term future of the Charity by ensuring there are adequate resources to meet the Charity’s anticipated charitable obligations. The Trust Fund is held as a buffer to ensure that grant levels are maintained in the event of a sudden loss of income or unexpected expenditure. It is the policy of the Trustees to award grants on the basis of the net surplus before realised/unrealised gains, thereby protecting a core of investments and cash assets to generate income for future years’ grant awards. The Trustees will continue to review the level of grants they make on an annual basis. Internal Controls The Trustees have a duty to ensure that adequate systems and procedures are in place to safeguard the Trust’s assets. The Investment Committee is empowered by the Trustees to ensure that appropriate internal controls are implemented and monitored and that the risks are managed and controlled. The Investment Committee reports regularly to the Trustees. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 16 Risk Management During the year the Trustees reviewed and addressed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed: status and reputation; asset value and grant-making capacity, operational processes; IT systems and data; and succession planning. The Trustees are satisfied that the established systems are sufficient to mitigate those risks. Annual Review The D’Oyly Carte Chair of Medicine and the Arts Professor Brian Hurwitz BA (Cambridge), MB, BS, MA, MSc, MD (London), FRCP, FRCGP D’OYLY CARTE CHAIR IN MEDICINE AND THE ARTS (appointed February 2002) The Trustees of The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust established The D’Oyly Carte Chair in Medicine and the Arts at King’s College London in 2001 with a £2 million donation to stimulate high quality teaching, research and public debate in the field of medicine and its relationship to literature, philosophy and other arts, including those of performance. The D’Oyly Carte Professor, Dr. Brian Hurwitz, reports regularly to the D’Oyly Carte Trustees and to a KCL D’Oyly Carte Chair Advisory Board which acts as a source of guidance and advice for the Chair and as a financial audit and review body. The Board membership includes The Principal of King’s College London (or nominee), Head of the School of Humanities (or nominee), the Teaching Dean for the King’s College London Health Schools or nominee, two members representing the D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust (currently Jeremy Leigh Pemberton and Dr. Michael O’Brien) and other external and internal members as required drawn from the medical, arts and education fields. Membership of the Board is for a three year term, renewable thereafter. KCL welcomed a new Principal in September 2014, Prof. Ed Byrne. The Trustees are delighted that Prof. Byrne has agreed to take the chair of the D’Oyly Carte Chair Advisory Board in succession to Prof. Sir Rick Trainor, and Prof Byrne chaired his first meeting in December 2014 when Prof Hurwitz presented his report on the academic year 2013/14, the Chair’s 12th year of activity. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 17 D’Oyly Carte Chair Highlights in the academic year 2013/14 Attending international colloquia at Chinese University of Hong Kong, University of North Carolina, Lisbon, Coimbra, Oslo, Paris and Ferrara Directing the KCL Centre for the Humanities and Health including a two-day Conference at The Royal College of Physicians at which research was presented to seventy Medical Humanities scholars Developing and editing a Wellcome Witnesses Seminar on Narrative Practices in Medicine, to be published in 2015 Co-editing a themed issue of Notes and Records of the Royal Society devoted to new scholarship on Joseph Lister, published in September 2013 Continuing to convene and teach on the KCL MSc in Medical Humanities Being asked by the Institute of Arts and Humanities of the University of North Carolina (UNC) to inaugurate their new MA in Literature, Medicine and Culture and to bring 3 PhD students from King’s to UNC Being asked by the English Department to develop a lecture course on the Medical Humanities for some fifty Theology students - undergraduates, masters & PhD students and members of staff from the Theology Department - studying for the degree, the Associate-ship of King’s College London Performing Arts and Medical Education at King’s College London (KCL) Access to the performing arts for undergraduate medical students, facilitated through Clod Ensemble’s Performing Medicine programme continues to be an integral component of the Chair’s activities. Based on Clod Ensemble’s experience of working with Medical Students at King’s over the previous three years, work funded by the Trust, the Head of Undergraduate Medical Education invited Clod Ensemble in 2013 to modify an existing KCL Academic Support Programme (ASP) for Phase 3 and 4 medical undergraduates who have failed their exams and, as a result, required to re-take a year (some 3-8% of the cohort annually). It was thought many of these students suffered not only from a lack of knowledge and understanding but also from poor confidence, low self-esteem and underdeveloped practical skills that might be helped by a Performing Medicine approach to clinical consultation skills. The Trust agreed to support two courses per year for two years with a grant of £12,000 commencing in the academic year 2013-14. Additional funding was provided by KCL and the Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 18 A full evaluation on this ASP, with comparative data, will be undertaken at the end of the academic year 2014/15. Discussions between Clod Ensemble and the KCL medical school about extending this work into the mainstream curriculum for undergraduate medical education, and developing a research project that will build a gold-standard evidence-base for arts-based learning at KCL, are ongoing. Phase 3 & 4 Students’ comments about the Academic Support Programme 2014/15 ‘The Arts side has been very beneficial.’ ‘I feel a lot more confident about the exams.’ ‘I have more motivation this year.’ ‘What I found useful was the critical reflection.’ ‘Different states of body tension – that’s been useful in so many different scenarios in the hospital.’ ‘A revelation.’ ‘Just by changing certain things about yourself, your posture .. people react to you differently and the patients, the doctors.’ ‘When you change what you do, you change what you think and how you feel.

This important Archive, which includes the autograph manuscript of Iolanthe (1882), is regarded as remarkable in its extent, its continuity and the range of material it contains, providing an unparalleled insight into an opera company which was unusual in its repertoire, international reach, its focused social identity and ownership over more than a century by a single family – the D’Oyly Carte Family. Furthermore, as an archive of an important theatre company which toured the UK and the British Empire extensively, it is truly British in the sense of the audiences it reached and its subject matter which relates to stage works offering a unique view on aspects of British society and culture from the late Victorian period. From the personal photo album of Lady Dorothy D’Oyly Carte 1889-1977 (Dame Bridget D’Oyly Carte’s mother) HMS Pinafore Prompt Book 1878 In the knowledge that The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust had indicated that they wished to be as supportive as possible throughout the acquisition negotiations, The British Library applied for a grant to support the cataloguing of the archive over a period of 15 months. The Friends of the British Library had already pledged £20,000 for this purpose, and the Trustees were delighted to make an exceptional grant of £26,765 to the British Library to complete the funding required for cataloguing to ensure the research potential of this important archive is fully realised and enthusiasts of Gilbert and Sullivan, and musical theatre alike, can in future make the most of this rich material becoming available for the first time. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 20 General Grant Activity During the year under review, the Trustees paid out grants totalling £1,203,643 to 292 charities. This was an increase in value compared to the previous year when 290 grants totalling £1,117,851 were paid. Grants agreed during the year but not yet paid at the end of the year amounted to £132,000. Annual Grants 2010 - 2015 £'000s £1,117.85 £975.72 £964.07 2011/12 2012/13 £1,203.64 £801.62 2010/11 2013/14 2014/2015 The Trustees’ decision-making on grants in the period continued to follow the procedures laid down and applied in past years. The distribution of grants between the sectors continues to favour charities in the Arts and Medical Welfare sectors with a smaller proportion going to Environmental charities. Charitable Trusts and Foundations, as independent grant-makers, exist to create a better society - and have the distinctive opportunity to determine their own agenda. Whatever the cause, the Trustees seek to direct their funds to where they can make a major difference, and this aim steers them away from significant appeals. The Trustees realise the vital impact their funding can make, and the encouragement it can give, particularly to smaller charities seeking to provide desperately needed services in the community. An ever increasing and hungry voluntary sector continues to weather the impact of reduced government spending both at a national and local level which makes the role of a grantmaking charity all the more challenging. Nevertheless, the Trustees continue in their aim to make grants to address disadvantage and to enhance people’s lives – and not to replace public services; and they continue to be sympathetic to applications towards core funding from charities whose work they know well. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 21 Distribution of Grants by Sector This year again the Arts took the largest proportion of Trust spending at £615,908 compared to £509,321 in the previous year, whilst spending in the Medical Welfare sector amounted to £445,800 compared to £484,490 in the previous year.

Birmingham Royal Ballet staff deliver workshops to 2,000 Year 1 children (aged 5-6) in areas of Birmingham which are “cultural cold spots” with high socio-economic deprivation and low cultural engagement. At these annual workshops staff identify 60 children with a talent for dance and invite them to join the two-year Dance Track programme. © Paul Telfer Dance Track children are aged 6-8. They receive weekly ballet classes taught by a professional dancer, dancewear, backstage events such as trying on costumes and wigs, workshops with current Company dancers and performance opportunities. The programme is free of charge and weekly classes take place locally to minimise travel costs for families. Dance Track not only enables children to reach their full dance potential but also improves confidence, social skills, creativity and physical wellbeing. The project has been successful in creating the next generation of dancers and audiences, with many graduates going on to further training at vocational schools such as Elmhurst School for Dance and the Royal Ballet School. A grant of £3,000 this year is the third grant the Trust has awarded to the Dance Track scheme. My sons would never have taken up ballet if they were not invited to Dance Track, it just never came up. I think this is a very important result of the programme. It's great to give boys a chance to be involved and both boys have gained a great deal from it.

MFY delivers a range of initiatives that seek to engage those least engaged in the arts - Regional Festivals provide a unique opportunity for groups to perform to new audiences, listen to other groups from their area and get valuable feedback from the team of MFY Music Mentors, and MFY's National Festival in Birmingham showcases dynamic performances by young musicians from across the UK, featuring jazz, orchestral, rock, folk and world, urban, wind and brass, pop, choral and chamber music. In addition, 3,000 young musicians light up the Royal Albert Hall in London every year at the annual Schools Prom concerts. © Alick Cotterill/MFY It has built their confidence. They have seen that, despite their nerves, performing can be a positive experience. They have shown support for one another and come together as a group. The positive feedback they received from the mentors gives them a belief in themselves as a choir. They were able to see other young people performing and were part of a quality event themselves. Primary School Teacher, London It was really enjoyable for the children to be able to experience music that is not only live, but also very different from what they have been used to before. A really good experience for everyone.

Titles are published suitable for anyone from pre-school to adult and the wide and growing range of titles is designed to provide education and life-long learning, enhance lifestyle and support leisure interests. Titles are distributed via a free postal service. In the charity’s 25th anniversary year, it is now developing a new style of book that will help change the lives of its growing adult library membership: Short Stories. Twenty titles will be created in this new series, and the Trust is continuing its support of Living Paintings over many years by launching the fundraising for this project with a grant of £4,500 this year which will go towards the publication of the first three titles. Your beautiful descriptions and my fingers tell me more about the pictures than my tiny bit of colour blind vision ever could. It is altogether a beautiful experience and you are wonderful people to do it for us.

Working with the principal conservatoires and other trusted organisations, Samling auditions over 120 artists annually to take part in week-long residencies. They receive artistic guidance from internationally acclaimed artists and performance and masterclass opportunities, not only at Sage Gateshead, but also at Wigmore Hall where the annual showcase is held. © Mark Pinder Samling Artists return to lead and direct workshops, masterclasses and opera productions benefitting singers aged 14-21 participating in the Samling Academy. It is hoped that it will only be a matter of time before Academy participants audition for the Artist Programme, thus creating a ‘virtuous circle’, and cementing Samling’s position in the North East as a centre for musical excellence. The Trust has been a long-standing supporter of Samling and this year awarded another grant of £5,000 towards the Samling Artist Programme. The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust's sustained and much valued support of Samling Artist Programme for young professional singers and piano accompanists has enabled us to provide a unique residential environment for them to learn from and be inspired by some of the world's greatest artists, reaching new audiences through performances and masterclasses. It has also helped us focus on attracting young people to the art form through our growing Academy.

A grant of £5,000 from the Trust is currently supporting its Youth Connect programme which uses the urban arts and music to engage disadvantaged young people, inspiring them to find positive alternatives to anti-social behaviour and enhance their future employability. Young people join workshops that appeal to their interests, including street dance, digital media, rapsong writing and DJ-ing. This leads on to the charity’s wider programme including crime and consequence sessions and careers advice. Since 2009, over 3,500 12-19 year olds have participated in the Youth Connect programme with 650 being more intensively engaged. The charity reports that 40% progressed onto employment, training or further education; 89% reported increased confidence and self-esteem; 68% have a healthier attitude to drugs and alcohol; and 35% are less likely to get involved in criminal behaviour and gangs. If it wasn’t for Youth Connect I would probably be in trouble with the police. I was always getting into trouble and being excluded from school and Youth Connect gave me somewhere to go and something to do.

DfP is a unique project, designed to support people with Parkinson’s to have a better quality of life. ENB delivers this by holding weekly sessions encompassing dance, cultural activities, and opportunities to socialise and build a support network for people with Parkinson’s and their carers. ENB has run DfP for three years in London, and, with support from the Trust, has established hubs in Oxford and Liverpool; and following its success, the project has been expanded to include two new regional hubs in Ipswich and Cardiff. The Trust is a long-standing supporter of ENB’s outreach work, and this year a grant of £5,000 continues to support and strengthen the regional DfP hubs in Oxford and Liverpool. © Belinda Lawley We went along to what we thought was going to be an ordinary meeting….But this Friday afternoon was different and started us on a wonderful journey together….I watched as a room full of people came to life before my eyes. At first people were slumped in chairs not talking or much smiling going on. But then the pianist began to play and Becky and her team began to work their magic on us….For me the transformation was so evident and amazing. The music and dance moves seemed to breathe new life into the whole room. People were laughing, smiling and joining in. No one moaned or sat out. The ENB team were helpful and attentive. The room was buzzing.

The charity endeavours to narrow social inequality by giving multiply disabled people greater access to opportunities in so many fields, including art, education, employment, music and sport etc. and works to address the considerable needs of severely disabled children and adults. From its Hertfordshire HQ it can readily meet such needs within a 100 miles radius, taking in the whole of Greater London and the South East. Its Yorkshire base near Huddersfield has a similar range. Clients range in age from babies to retirement and beyond. Their difficulties span the full disability spectrum with the majority struggling to cope with debilitating conditions, such as Arthritis, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Spinal Injury and sensory impairment, and many have multiple disabilities and severe learning difficulties. Much of the charity’s work enables people with disabilities to access educational, artistic and sporting opportunities and also to cope more readily with their condition so that they can derive maximum benefit from their opportunities and develop their talents, ideally, in more inclusive settings. The Trust has supported DEMAND since 1990 and this year awarded a core revenue grant of £5,000. Carina’s Lift: Carina is twenty three and lives in Watford. She has acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, a neurological condition characterised by muscle weakness, which makes standing and walking difficult, so she has to use a wheelchair. She wanted to start a Hair and Beauty course at the Technical College in Hemel Hempstead but her acceptance on the course was dependent on her being physically able to work on clients at a variety of heights. DEMAND made a battery powered mechanism that is attached to the underside of her wheelchair. Carina can position the wheelchair manually then raise herself to carry out her practical course and work easily and comfortably.

Some of these children are as young as eight years old and they sacrifice their childhood for the sake of their families. Many of the families helped are single parent families who are in very strained financial circumstances. The breaks are designed around the needs of the youngsters and patients keeping in mind restricted mobility and health concerns while ensuring that the focus is on the young carers. The Trust’s grant of £5,000 is the first grant awarded to this charity, specifically in support of respite breaks for young carers with their families. The photograph above shows William with his younger brother Isaac. William has been a real credit to his family who also have a toddler to look after as well as 9 year old Isaac who has leukaemia. ‘William has been excellent whilst his younger brother has been receiving treatment for leukaemia… Sail 4 Cancer gave our family a wonderful day out.

This might manifest as offending, isolation, reliance on mental health or social services, disengagement from school, training and work, or a host of other difficulties. Much of the charity’s work is in the community with young people and families referred by a range of partners including Childrens Services, Schools, PRUs, Youth Offending Teams, The Children's Society, Action for Children, Children & Adolescent Mental Health Service, Behaviour Support and Troubled Families teams. Early results show that TheHorseCourse is very successful in engaging young people and delivering outcomes and the Trust’s second grant of £5,000 this year is supporting facilitator training in 2015/16. Evidence to date indicates that TheHorseCourse (THC) provides a very promising range of benefits, particularly for people who are unable or unwilling to make progress in conventional services. We are engaged with THC in a range of studies to measure efficacy and understand the change mechanisms. Dr Ann Hemingway, Professor in Public Health, Bournemouth University The grant-funding from The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust has enabled us to theory-train 24 potential practitioners from around the UK, selected for their promise and commitment. We currently have eleven fully trained, assessed and approved HorseCourse Facilitators, enabling us to reach a greater number of the people who are failed by current provision. We also have a clear system for training and assessment, a number of part-trained candidates and a waiting list for training. Without this funding from The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust we could not have put this system in place. Our evaluation shows that after attending our courses participants improve their ability to manage anxiety and in turn improve engagement with education, training and work; have better relationships and gain the confidence to lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

The charity’s two Swingbridge boats provide activities aimed at people who are marginalised in society for all sorts of reasons; mild learning difficulties, mental illness and addiction, family breakdown and unemployment, and young people who are struggling in education or have caring responsibilities. The Trust’s grant of £5,000 this year is supporting Swingbridge2, a year-round base for environmental volunteering and training for young people and adults as well as offering work placements for adult offenders. This “enviroboat” works along the Thames, River Wey and Basingstoke Canal. Volunteers and trainees make a valuable contribution to looking after the local environment while also learning new skills. Some of the tasks the Swingbridge crews take on include: cutting back overgrown vegetation to improve views, access and safety, creating wildlife havens, hedge maintenance and planting, painting lock gates, litter clearance and controlling invasive species such as Himalayan Balsam, Japanese Knotweed and Ragwort. Basil Glanville (above), a retired-teacher and one of the Surrey Care Trust’s longest-serving volunteers, trains young people and vulnerable adults, teaching crewing and the basic land maintenance skills needed for the environmental work carried out.

The red squirrel is the UK's only native squirrel species, and was once a common sight across all of mainland Britain. Today, red squirrels are sadly absent from most of England and Scotland’s central belt, affected by the spread of the grey squirrel, introduced in the 19th Century. Only 120,000 red squirrels remain in Scotland, around 75% of the total UK population. Scotland is one of the only havens left for red squirrels, with areas in the north still remaining grey-free. The Scottish Wildlife Trust has joined forces with Scottish Natural Heritage, Forestry Commission Scotland and Scottish Land and Estates to undertake the first nationally co-ordinated attempt to stop the decline of red squirrels in Scotland. The Trust’s grant of £5,000 this year is supporting Phase 3 (over 2 years) of the Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels project. © Steven Gardner The contributions of The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust to the Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels to date have helped us to protect vulnerable populations of red squirrels in Aberdeenshire, highland Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway and parts of the Scottish Borders from replacement by invasive non-native grey squirrels, restoring thriving populations of our charismatic native squirrel. Although work remains to be done to maintain the successes so far, we now have an excellent basis for a sustained recovery.

A grant of £3,000 contributed to the lighting project which will ensure that St Mary’s is a first class venue for the Arts and as such will be of great benefit to the local and wider community. The Friends of St Mary's Petworth are extremely grateful for the support received from The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust. The funds have allowed us to carry out a major improvement to the lighting in St Mary's in order to provide a marvellous setting for the Petworth Festival and for the many other cultural events for which St Mary’s is used. At the same time we have been able to enhance the beauty of the lovely barrel vaulted ceiling. Nicholas Wheeler Treasurer, St. Mary’s Petworth The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 34 Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) Environment priority: Rural crafts and skills in heritage conservation, with emphasis on increasingly rare skills that would otherwise be lost QEST strives to support craft fields that are in danger of disappearing completely in order to contribute to the sustainability of Britain’s rich heritage. Many of the craft fields QEST has supported since its induction in 1990 have made a substantial difference in ensuring the continuation of traditional and rural skills that may have been otherwise lost. Most of QEST’s beneficiaries have exhausted every other avenue to support their career progression and are sometimes in the worrying situation of getting in to debt. A grant of £5,000 last year enabled Nina Thomas’ to complete her degree in Farrier Science at Myerscough College in Lancashire and she is now running a thriving business shoeing horses; and this year a similar grant from the Trust will support Caitlin Dowse whilst she undertakes an unpaid internship in painting conservation at the National Museum of Wales. I am confident that Caitlin will graduate with flying colours at the end of July this year but, as with all freshly graduated young conservators, she will need a period in a major conservation studio to build up her experience and knowledge. Conservation is a lifelong learning process, and the three year Hamilton Kerr Institute Postgraduate Diploma course, although a rigorous and onerous undertaking in itself, has given her a foundation for the vital next stage where, under the guidance of more experienced conservators, she can apply her knowledge and skills to a wider variety of treatments than they have hitherto experienced. Rupert Featherstone, Director of the Hamilton Kerr Institute I am delighted to receive a QEST D'Oyly Carte Scholarship as it will enable me to complete an internship at the painting conservation department of the National Museum Wales. I'll be able to build on my craft skills and it will enable me to continue on into the profession, with the aim of becoming a fully accredited easel painting conservator.

Established in 2000, Trust Links is committed to enabling people to work together to improve mental health and well-being and promote, support, inspire and cultivate wellness and sustainable living. Trust Link’s successful Growing Together project in Westcliff-onSea was set up as a Community Garden to provide social and therapeutic horticulture, training and recovery support to adults with mental illness including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. This project is now well developed and supports 100 to 150 adults per year. Growing Together Shoeburyness seeks to replicate this success in a deprived area. This is the first year of support for Trust Link and a grant of £5,000 is supporting the Growing Together projects in Westcliff-on-Sea and Shoeburyness. An external evaluation of Growing Together by Anglia Ruskin University 2014 demonstrates clear improvements in: quality of life, physical activity, knowledge and skills in horticulture, experience of social inclusion and social interaction and sense of community, autonomy, choice and control, mental health and wellbeing.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the Trustees are aware: there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. This report is prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Auditor As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities set out on page 38, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s (APB’s) Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the audit of the financial statements A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at http://www.frc.org.uk/auditscopeukprivate. Opinion on financial statements In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31st March 2015 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. The D‘Oyly Carte Charitable Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee No. 5638406 Registered in England and Wales Charity Registration No. 1112457 39 Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion the information given in the Trustees’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a strategic report or in preparing the Trustees’ report.
