## **ROTARY CLUB OF RAINHILL TRUST FUND TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2024** 

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”. 

Rainhill Rotary Club held a beer festival during the year. The donation from the beer festival into the Trust was £25609. The Christmas sleigh operated in December 2023 and raised £16773 (excluding gift aid). All Sleigh funds received were paid directly into the Trust with relevant costs of £1037 paid by the Trust. Other donations & income amounted to £16350. The Trust received a legacy payment of £15090 from the estate of Alan Richardson, a Rainhill resident. 

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 £32450, with£29650 (91%) going to local charitable & other good causes and £2800 (9%) to international causes.

TREASURER Ian Howitt 

## **REPORT OF THE REVIEW OF THE ACCOUNTS** 

The Treasurer is responsible for the preparation of the annual financial statements, as set out on the attached pages. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our review, on those statements and to report our opinion to you. Our review includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the Treasurer in the preparation of the financial statements and of whether the decisions of the Trust, as shown in the approved Minutes, have been consistently and correctly transacted. 

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust as at 30th June 2024 and of the surplus for the year ended on that date.
