REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023



The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objective is to advance the education of foreign students in the United Kingdom, especially but not necessarily exclusively, students from Eastern Europe attending member schools of the Heads' Conference (HMC), the Girls' Schools Association (GSA) and the Boarding Schools' Association (BSA).

Public benefit
The trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Interest in the scholarship programme remains popular both on the part of the schools generously offering places and also the applicants competing for them. For the scholarship year 2022 to 2023 a total of 41 schools offered scholarship places through our main programme.

Interviewing in January and February of 2022 was conducted remotely, as was the case in 2021, as a result of the impact of the pandemic and travel restrictions in place. A total of 90 scholarships were awarded of which 53 were full scholarships and 37 were reduced fee (partial) scholarships. The table below gives the comparative number of scholarships awarded in 2021, 2022 by country and also includes those for 2023.

The number of applicants in almost all the countries shows that interest in the scholarship programme remains high with the exception of the Baltic countries where numbers are low continuing a trend there in recent years. In such cases the trustees are considering whether it is still worthwhile including these countries in the scholarship programme.

HMC PROJECTS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN
EUROPE (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03636789)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023


In addition to the scholarships awarded above, as a result of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army, an appeal went out to all HMC schools for offers of places for all our Ukrainian interviewees who had performed satisfactorily and also some additional scholars through the scholarship organisation Ukraine Global Scholars (UGS) which places Ukrainian scholars primarily in schools in the US. In total, 35 additional students were placed in a total of 33 schools of which 10 were already participants in our scholarship programme for 2022-23. The appeal was such a success that HMC Projects had insufficient Ukrainian students to place in all the places offered through this appeal. This initiative was carried out entirely pro bono and there was no financial benefit to HMC Projects.

The total number of schools offering scholarships through our main programme, either full or reduced fee or both, for the academic year 2022-23 stood at 41 and that for entry in 2023 stands at 47. This increase in the number of participating schools is encouraging. However, the trend is for fewer schools to offer multiple places with the result that there are fewer places on offer in 2023 compared to those in 2022. However, as stated above, a further 33 schools offered places through our Ukraine appeal, 10 of which took scholars through our main programme as well.

where FS and RF stand for full and reduced fee scholarships respectively.

Reduced fee scholarships are awarded to those very able applicants, who could not be awarded a full scholarship simply due to lack of availability of places and also those for whom annual parental net income exceeds our threshold of £30,000. Reduced fee scholars typically pay between 20% and 25% of full fees. The placement fee, paid by schools in respect of each reduced fee scholar, has remained the same as last year at £1,250 and this is an essential component of the income of the charity. There were slightly more reduced fee places offered than there were scholars to take them up. For many, the financial burden of even these generously reduced fees is too great.

The 3 reduced fee scholars from Ukraine placed through our main programme had their scholarships effectively converted to full scholarships in that the reduced fees were generously waived by their UK schools as a result of their families' changed financial circumstances following the outbreak of the war. This had financial implications for HMC Projects as the placement fee charged to schools was waived in the case of these three Ukrainian reduced fee scholars. In addition, no administrative fee was levied in the case of the 5 Ukrainian full scholars and, clearly, no fee was payable from any of the additional 35 Ukrainian students placed.

Despite a previously stated intention to reinstate the supervised half-term breaks, the trustees reconsidered the risks, not least in terms of safeguarding and the detailed requirements of our insurers to provide any cover, and made the decision not to revive these.

Financial developments
The administration fee charged to scholars who took up their scholarship at their UK school in September 2022 was published at £1,250 for all full scholars. However, this fee was reduced to £1,000 and waived entirely for scholars from Ukraine. As stated above, no fee was levied for the Ukrainians who were placed through our special appeal. For scholars placed in 2024 the fee will remain at £1,000 and will be published as such in our publicity and information documents. This will cause HMC Projects to run at a slight loss which will be absorbed by drawing down on our surplus. Such a drawdown is possible for a number of years but the trustees are aware that it is important to establish a longer term, sustainable level of fees to enable the organisation to break even in the future.

EUROPE (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03636789)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023


ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The continued generosity of a small number of alumni has resulted in the receipt of further donations, usually on a monthly basis through our PayPal account, and HMC Projects is very grateful for these. The total received into the PayPal account from alumni during 2022-23 was £1,525 from which £47 was deducted in PayPal fees. Very few of these donations attract Gift Aid as the donors work outside the UK and are not UK taxpayers. All donations are used to provide additional support for our scholars on a discretionary basis to allow them to benefit from opportunities at their schools where family financial constraints may not allow this. In this way donated funds will ensure that all our scholars can maximise their opportunities. Some schools generously absorb additional costs incurred by scholars, not explicitly included in the scholarship arrangement, but others are not able to do so and therefore this additional financial support through the alumni fund can help to level up.

In addition to the gifts from alumni, a generous donation of £2,500 was received from M Clarkson Webb in October 2023 to support the Ukrainian scholars and to help offset the shortfall in income as a result of waiving the administration fee in their case. This sum also qualifies for tax relief through Gift Aid.

The total cost of insurance for public and professional liability rose by around 11% from the previous year and the fee paid in 2022-23 was £1,420: an increase of £140 over that paid in 2021-22. The cover has remained the same as have the declared risks.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The reserves of the Trust have increased and at the close of this financial year (2022-23) the reserves amounted to £271,340 compared to £247,139 at the end of the previous financial year.

Incoming resources were £94,821 (2022 - £95,548). Prepaid fees and other prepaid income amounted to £46,505 (2022 - £58,263). Resources expended were £70,620 (2022 - £46,143). Net surplus for the year was £24,201 (2022 - £49,405).

Reserves policy
At the year end the charity holds £271,340 (2022 - £247,139) in reserves as unrestricted, and of this free reserves not invested in fixed assets amount to £271,074 (2022 - £246,340).

The policy of holding a sum of at least 50% of the annual turnover in reserve has been maintained, indeed exceeded. This contingency sum does not include the funds received as donations. The distribution of all reserves across accounts with four different banks has generally ensured that deposits should not exceed the sum guaranteed under the terms of the FSA to which all these banks are bound. This distribution of reserves in various savings accounts and bonds has provided a better return in bank interest than in recent years with the recent rises in interest rates post-pandemic. The current surplus enables HMC Projects to absorb any relatively minor operational deficit arising from the effects of inflation currently running at around 6.5% but which had previously peaked at around 11%. With such economic uncertainty it is only prudent to maintain an adequate surplus. The reserves policy is currently under review.

FUTURE PLANS
The HMC Projects administration fee for all new full scholars will set at £1,000 for 2023-24 and will be published at as such in our promotional and guidance documents.

Based on the number of applicants from each of the 15 countries in 2022/23, critical consideration is being given as to whether our operation is viable in all of the countries where HMC Projects operates. It is clear now that numbers in the two Baltic countries where HMC Projects operates are too low for our operation to continue there. The trustees have agreed that our operation should cease in these two countries. The Director is currently investigating to possibility of including Albania as a new country in which we might operate.

HMC PROJECTS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN
EUROPE (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03636789)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023


A new secure online application system for scholarship applications will be in place for 2023/4 to relieve our national coordinators of some of the administrative work in processing applications and gathering in associated documents e.g. recommendations from teachers, health and financial information. This commercial software package will have an annually recurring cost but it is well supported and offers HMC Projects various advantages in streamlining its operation.

All our scholars now have to pay international student fees if studying at a UK university. Schools vary on the effective advice they can provide on higher education opportunities outside the UK and HMC Projects in collaboration with higher education consultant David Hawkins, continues to run a webinar for all scholars in Year 12 in March to raise awareness of opportunities outside the UK. Scholars are actively discouraged from relying entirely on their UCAS application. In recent years there has been greater interest in applications to universities in the USA. David Hawkins and his team of mentors continue to give expert advice and guidance to many of our scholars pro bono.

The success and popularity of our one-day regional scholars' events, one in the North and one in the South, means that this will be continued into 2023-24, generously hosted in each case by one of our schools taking scholars. These are relatively low-risk events.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its memorandum and articles of association and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The charity was established to take over the activities of the HMC Foreign Students Fund, a charitable trust, and the assets and liabilities of that trust were transferred to the charity on 30 April 1999 by way of a donation.

Key management remuneration
The charity reimbursed expenses totalling £3,988 (2022 - £2,557) in respect of orientation expenses, admin expenses and interview costs to 4 (2021 - 3) key management personnel.

In addition, consultancy fees were paid to key management personnel during the year, as follows:
Dr E J Wolstenholme £15,000 (2022 - £15,000)
J Grigg £4,000 (2022 - £4,000)
C Burrows £8,000 (2022 - £nil)
S Leyshon £3,000 (2022 - £nil)
