## **ROTARY CLUB OF RAINHILL TRUST FUND TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2023** The Rotary Club of Rainhill Trust Fund was registered as a charity in 1993. Its charitable activities are governed by the terms of a Trust Deed dated 2 September 1993 (as amended by Deeds of Variation dated 1 June 2017, 19 December 2019, 17 February 2022 & 30.June 2022 and The Deed of Declaration dated 23[rd] November 2023, dealing with administrative changes) which stipulates that charitable funds shall be used for “the relief oft he poor and needy or to or for such other charitable purpose institution, society or object as the Club shall in duly constituted meeting from time to time direct”. During the year ending 30 June 2023 Rainhill Rotary Club was no longer constrained in its fundraising activities by the Covid 19 pandemic. Consequently, Rainhill Rotary Club was able to hold a beer festival during the year. The donation from the beer festival into the Trust was £16122. The Christmas sleigh operated in December 2022 and raised £11,704 (excluding gift aid). All Sleigh funds received were paid directly into the Trust with relevant costs of £296 paid by the Trust. Other donations & income amounted to £1,136. We receive requests for assistance throughout the year. All requests are first considered and, if necessary, researched by the appropriate committee of the Rotary Club. Every request together with the committee’s recommendation is then considered by the full Club in open meeting where a decision is made. The Trust accounts show a total distribution of money throughout the year of £23,290, with£17,640 (76%) going to local charitable & other good causes and £5,651 (24%) to international causes. ## **ROTARY CLUB OF RAINHILL** ## **TRUST ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE** ## **CONTENTS** 1.
