Public Benefit
Throughout the year, the Trustees have kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The Club was active in raising funds for the Trust and engaging with the community. The main events organised were the Cowley Classic Car Show, two Classic Car Drives, the Blenheim Run(s) and the Christmas Float Tour around Woodstock.
Members of the Club also helped with the November Fireworks Display put on by Oxford Round Table.
A public collection to support a local food bank and a charity proving meals for those in need was held in December. An emergency collection was organised in February to support victims of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
Club Members were again generous in donating personally to the Trust.
From the various activities undertaken, the Trust was able to provide grants for local, national, and international good causes.
All members of the Rotary Club of Oxford Isis are unpaid volunteers, and the charity could not function without their tremendous individual and collective efforts. The Trustees extend their heartfelt thanks to all our fellow club members for their wonderful commitment to improving the lives of others.

Reserves Policy
The policy is that there should be sufficient reserves to cover in the following year:
a) The charitable activities planned such as Youth Speaks.
b) The fixed costs of fund-raising events planned (should they be cancelled), and if such events do take place, to meet any shortfall should the income not be sufficient to cover the total expenditure of such events.
Restricted Funds
Our Trust policy is that income should be paid over to the relevant beneficiaries as soon as it is administratively possible to do so.
Risk Management
All activities undertaken by the Club are subject to the Club’s risk management policies and processes. A risk assessment is undertaken for each event with a strong emphasis on health and safety.
All activities involving members of the public are covered by a comprehensive insurance policy arranged for all Rotary clubs by Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland.
This report was approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf.
