General CommenL All applicants, who conforni with the parameters ofthe Trust, are helped constructively. The support artivity of the Trust is becoming increasingly well-known in all the fields the Trust covers. The Trustees are happy with the steady increase in the number of applications. All applications to the Trust are acknowledged. Since the commencement of the TrusL to date a totsl of £653.161 has been paid out as grant awards. The Kochan Trust is in the latest Directory of Grant Making Trusts. tm ol dRe rve Capital Investnlent Pollcy. The capital of the Trust is made up of investments. and a small field. The land is a small 3 acre field subject to an agricultural tenancy agreement. On completion of the sale of the Trust's property, the Trustees reviewed all the Trust's assets and investments. They believe that the best interests of the Trust are served by investing in 3 or 4 investment funds specifically appropriate for registered charities. These assets are now held in Charity investments with Schroders., M&G., CCLA and Savills (Charities Property fund) This re-investment of the capital took place in March 2016. This capital of the Trust is unlikely to increase in the future, other than by growth in the value of the investments and by the retention of any income not paid in grants, since the Trust does not normally receive donations, nor does it fund-raise. The capital has come principally from Mrs. Kochan's Estate. Over the last 15 years it has grown by over 40/0 per annum Reserves Pollcy. The Trustees seek to distribute Trust income by means of grant awards to applicants f311ing within the three categories of beneficiaries specified in the objects clause of the Trust Deed. The Trustees make their awards, in their absolute discretion, after assessin& in their view, the merits of each application received. The Trustees, when assessing the level of an award to be made to each applicanL take into account the annual income of the Trust and any money, not awarded in previous years, in the Reserve Fund. The Trustees. at all times, hold enough money in the Reserve/general Fund to cover all grants awarded when they have to be paid. The m3in part of the Reserve Fund is carried forward each year and available in cash, the rest is available OD immediate withdrawal from investmenL should it ever be needed. The Trustees are aware that within the terms of the Trust they are able to allocate capital to meet grant requests. They do not feel. however, that there is need to Tnake use of this facility at this time, nor do they think it to be in the best long-term interests of the Trust to do this. The unrest In the Middle East, the Ukraine War. the Amerlcan Electlon, Inflatlon and our own polltlcal change. The Trustees are fully aware of the impact these could have on income in the coming year. They have contingencies in place to meet the cornmitments this year, and forward. They are also aware of the difficulties that the students are under in the academic world and remain in touch with them. Approved b the Tr stees on: Date..... Signed....... Narne................
