ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Page 2
The Millers Trust Trustees Annual Report
With the donation made in the year and those committed for and paid since the year end, the trust has achieved its aim of expending the income of the trust on good causes that fall within the Trust’s stated aims.
The Millers Trust will continue with donations for good causes, with a focus on medical research and support for those suffering with long term medical conditions. Donations of just under £27,000 have been made since the year end to Moorfields Eye Hospital and also the Amber Trust. The trustees are actively considering further donation in the current financial year. In particular support for the charity, 'Hero Arms for Amputees' is being considered.
The directors continue to keep under review the investment of the trust’s funds. As bank interest returns have improved over the last couple of year, the trustees are of the opinion that retaining funds in readily available cash deposits is appropriate, in particular as the directors are considering substantial donations in the coming 12 to 24 months.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
