Blue figures are shown in receipts and payment column 10 on the  main account 

## **Note** 

Gift Aid claims were made generally based upon donations to the club. 

Either specific payments on which donors had made gift aid declarations or through the Gift Aid Small Donation scheme (for example public  collections on Ukraine day or at Christmas). 

Where I could identify that any donations made were specifically for the Ukraine local project 

I decided that any gift aid claimed upon those donations should be ring fenced for that project alone 

Consequently, when I received the gift aid payments from HMRC I crudely apportioned part of the GASDS claim specifically to that project I calculated £524.07. The balance £868.80 has been kept for the general charity account

## NOTES 

*In fact the prize was waived by the recipient who requested that the monies be paid to augment the club general account. So there is no prize payment out to a third party shown in the general account .The money was simply reabsorbed into the general account and the last raffle money was  not divided between  the raffle fund or the special fund 

**The second part of the Ribi Subs had to be paid  from the special fund as we had insufficient funds to pay from the general account. 

The Special Fund historically has been used for entertaining  guests ( such as our contact clubs) or  for the club members at special events ( e.g Christmas). However, it may be  used for any purpose that the club  decides such as general payments. 

The raffle money is generally divided as to one third for the ongoing raffle prize and two thirds for the Special Fund

**Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

Any requests for grants (effectively donations to that party) are considered by the members of the club who sit on the club community service committee. Any proposals are then submitted to the club council (including the trustees). 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

If recommended these proposals are submitted to the club members for discussion and final approval. The trustees would not make payments which do not meet with the approval of the club members. 

Funds held are currently not invested. The club has recently changed banks. It may consider opening a deposit account but generally large funds are not held long-term so a deposit account may not be “cost effective” given the additional administration involved and likely bank charges. Donations for the principal humanitarian aid projects have usually been spent within 21 days of receipt. 

All the club members, including the trustees, are volunteers. They give of their time freely and without recompense (save for agreed out-of-pocket expenses for items acquired on behalf of the club). 

The club council is elected annually by the club members at its AGM

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main** This has been a particularly successful year for the charity **achievements of the charity** specifically in relation to the administration of funds to provide **during the year** humanitarian support to those suffering because of the conflict in Ukraine. The club’s income has increased substantially because of these projects. Through the efforts of two of our Rotarian members we have administered funds received from four American Rotary Clubs. The monies have been used to purchase and deliver thermal clothing, medical supplies, water purification units and triage medical kits. In all cases we are working with the Rotary Club of Ukraine Unity as the receiving Rotary club. That umbrella club is responsible for the delivery of goods within Ukraine to the other constituent Rotary clubs, The club has provided administrative services for grant aid and private funding via its Treasurer. These are used as above and we work with the president of the Unity Club, for the purchase and delivery of goods to Ukraine. In addition, we have linked with an Australian organisation. This is CMRB Global Limited, an Australian entrepreneurial group, that is aiming to raise up to £100,000 for the purchase of brand new portable premature baby incubators to be purchased from mOm Incubators Limited of Nottingham.  These incubators are innovatory and are invaluable to frontline medics at maternity hospitals and clinics in Ukraine where, regrettably, the incidence of premature birth is much greater than normal because of the stressful and disturbing conditions faced by mothers- to- be. Whitstable RC has and continues to coordinate the donations from Australia and other UK links. Again, distribution links to Ukraine are with The Ukraine Unity Club We have also raised funds for Ukrainian refugees who have taken up temporary residence in Whitstable. These have been spent on clothing, rent, utilities, educational and social projects We have also raised money for local projects not connected to Ukraine. We have enjoyed particularly successful collections at Christmas tide and also through involvement with a local charity car parking facility which is open regularly throughout the year. When we manage the carpark, one half of the funds raised at that car parking are paid to a local school and the balance is held for the benefit of this charity. We have made donations to other overseas emergency projects and also to local charitable organisations (many of whom make presentations to our club) and individuals in financial or social or medical distress. We have been able to augment our donations via claims for Gift Aid and Gift Aid Small Donations

**Section E                    Financial review** 

## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

## **Charity Reserves** 

In our charity account, any sums not spent from Rotary grants or specific donations are held in reserve and ringfenced to be applied specifically towards projects that are acceptable to those donors.  If a donation has been agreed but not yet paid then it is ring fenced in the club charity account and is not available for other charitable purposes.  Other money is unreserved. 

We have a broad policy that where donations are set aside but not paid within a year, we will chase the donee to ascertain if the payment is still required. If not, the sum will again form part of our unreserved funds. 

## **General reserves** 

In relation to our general account (which is club money for club administration and expenses), we do not have a specific reserves policy. Principally income is from our members’ subscriptions. However, budgets are prepared at the beginning of the financial year (including a small contingency fund) and we adhere to those budgets so there should not be an over spend.  Our club subscription for each member is set to provide adequate monies for all scheduled expenses. We are always in credit for payment of such outgoings. 

## **Winding up (charitable and general funds)** 

However, in the event of the charity being wound up there would be no expenses that would have to be paid before liquidation. We have no employees (so there would be no redundancy or employment costs) or other long-term costs that would have to be met before the charity could be wound up. All debts are paid as they fall due. Payments are not committed unless there are sums to discharge the debt. 

We have no leasing or hire purchase arrangements (whether for real property or equipment).  We have made no forward commitments to pay any funds from our general account. We would be able to wind up the charity immediately. 

After payment of any debts, all sums (if any) that are held in our general account would belong to the club members and would be repaid proportionately. Alternatively, if the club was to merge with another club any such funds would be held for the benefit of the new joint club subject to our club member approval. 

Any general charitable monies held in our charity account (after payment towards specific projects) would be paid to the Rotary International Charitable foundation unless donors or club members instruct another charity. Alternatively, if the club was to merge with another club any such funds would be held the benefit of the new charitable account subject to approval. 

As such the above principles form our reserve policy 

## **Solvency** 

We have no concerns as to the solvency of the club.
