Registered Charity No. 1002243 ## ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 OCTOBER 2025 ## Trustees Chairperson Ms Charlotte Woellworth Secretary Mrs Fiona Dick Treasurer & Correspondent Mrs Terri McClure Ms Jo Ellis Mrs Sarah Marshall Mrs Maggie Putland Mrs Nikki Matthews Mrs Niamh Draper Ms Monica Limerick Independent Examiner of Accounts : Mr Sean Collins Bankers: HSBC Bank, 36 Princes Mead, Farnborough GU14 6YA Address of Correspondent : St Joan of Arc Catholic Church, 19 Tilford Road, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 ## 8DJ Arcaid is governed by its Constitution, adopted at the First Annual General Meeting on 6 February 1991 and amended on 23 September 1998, 1 October 2003, 5 November 2008, 18 November 2009 and 17[th] November 2010. Its area of benefits is restricted to countries outside the United Kingdom . ## Aims and Organisaton Arcaid's purpose is the relief of persons, anywhere in the world outside the United Kingdom, who are suffering any form of hardship or privation as a result of drought, flood, or other natural disaster, or war, oppression or other human activity, or who by reason of their social and economic conditions are in need of such assistance. It makes grants to persons or institutions caring for the poor or sick, either directly or through the relevant charitable organisations. A distinctive policy of Arcaid is to choose its beneficiaries mainly through personal contacts, to get to know most recipients, whether or not they belong to other charitable organisations, to maintain correspondence with them, to follow the progress of the work funded or supported, and to keep its members informed accordingly. Recipients are encouraged to visit Farnham, when in the United Kingdom, and address the members. Arcaid gives special consideration to recipients who have no access to the bigger agencies and no other source of external finance; and to small projects which it can fund to completion. The main source of finance is regular subscriptions from members, most of whom are parishioners of St. Joan of Arc, Farnham. Amounts are at the subscriber's discretion. All administration is by the unpaid Trustees. St. Joan of Arc Parish makes free provision of meeting accommodation, publicity space and office services. All other administration costs are absorbed by the Trustees and restricted donations. ## Achievements for the Year In the year ended 31st October 2025, we received £34,480.35 . This figure includes £7,126.74 in tax reclaimed from those who have gift aided their donations, £1,618.93 from the cheese and wine evening and £233.90 from the Easyfundraising income, which has potential to increase donations further. Arcaid remains ever grateful to the generous donations; whether regular or one off.
