THE SIR SIMON MILTON FOUNDATION
The overriding aim of the charity is to continue delivering Sir Simon's vision of a caring City of Westminster that offers opportunity for all. The charity is focused on two key strands of work, primarily in Westminster, supporting: younger people, particularly in education and training; and older people in need, especially those who are lonely or socially isolated.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £146k for the year, drawing down on its reserves which decreased from £1.488m to £1.342m. The trustees confirm that current cash holdings and fundraising plans secure the immediate future for the next 12 to 18 months, with no material uncertainties regarding going concern.
What the accounts disclose
“Income from investments 4 60 - 60 77 - 77” — page 18
“The Trustees have agreed that the Foundation must maintain a cash reserve, invested in liquid assets, equivalent to six months’ operational running costs and to cover contracts to which the Foundation is already committed.”
“Although one (2024: two) donation was received during the year to the sum of £5,000 (2024: £7,000) from The Hippodrome Charitable Trust, Simon Thomas, a trustee of this Charitable Trust was no longer a trustee of the Sir Simon Milton Foundation.”
