ROTARY CLUB OF DERBY CHARITABLE TRUST
Minutes of the Annual Meeting of the Trustees held at 2.00 pm on Monday 12[th] February 2024 following the regular weekly Club meeting at the Derby Mickleover Hotel
Present: Current Trustees: Edward Marshall Angus Currie (Chair) Andrew Plant
Apologies: Kay Brookes
The meeting was quorate (Quorum 3)
1. Minutes of the Trustees’ Meeting of 22[nd] November 2022
Approved.
2. Review of Trust Declarations
The meeting reviewed the Declarations of Trust dated 13[th] August 1973 and 31[st] October 1983, and the Supplement to the latter dated November 2018. It was agreed that these should continue to be the relevant operational documents.
The last of these documents was signed by those present.
3. Modus operandi as between Club and Charitable Trust dated 23[rd] November 2018
This document had been agreed at the meeting of Trustees on 28[th] November 2018 in response to new Charity Commission requirements. Effectively, insofar as charitable donations are concerned, this requires that:
-
Service teams, having agreed an amount and a recipient for a donation, will recommend to the Club Council that the donation be made.
-
Club Council will consider and, if agreed, direct that the Treasurer make the donation from the club’s Charity account.
-
These actions be recorded in the minutes of the respective meetings.
-
The Trustees of the Charitable Trust should then agree at their annual meeting to accept all such recommendations made to them by the Club.
It was agreed that this will continue to apply.
4. Approval by the Trustees of Charitable Donations recommended by the Club in year 2021/2022
Accepted as per bullet point four above.
This will also continue to apply as previously agreed.
5. Update of the schedule of Trustees
At the last annual Trustees’ meeting of 22[nd] November 2022, a discussion took place concerning the confusion caused by the previous practice of changing the Trustees each Rotary year to reflect changes in Club Officers. This also creates difficulty with the Bank for
1
Trustee signatories as the system to do this with its additional security has become complicated. At that meeting it was agreed that Charitable Trust Trustees be appointed and remain in post for an unspecified period to avoid the complications of repeated changes.
It was therefore agreed that until further notice the Trustees remain as Edward Marshall, Andrew Plant, Kay Brookes and Angus Currie.
6. Club Charity Account cheque signatories
It was agreed that until further notice the signatories remain as Kay Brookes, Tim Wherly and Angus Currie.
7. Charity Commission Annual Return
The deadline for this is 10 months after the end of the accounting year concerned, ie. end of April. Angus Currie filed the 2022 return on 24[th] March 2023, and the 2023 return is due by 30[th] April 2024.
8. Date of next meeting
To be arranged following the Charitable Trust AGM.
