appropriate grants in future periods.

Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
Gtven the changes which have taken place
in the demographic of the Ge￿nan
communty in London following Brexit, and
consequently also on the impact this is
having on the congregations of the Gennan
churches, the Trustees have been
considering the scope of the Charty's
objects.
They have concluded they are drawn too
narrowly to fulfil adequately the charitable
aspirations for the legacy of the original St
Paul's German Refomied Church. It is
proposed to redraft the objects and seek
Charity Commission approval of a revision
which widens the scope but still retsins the
spirit if not the letter of the existing objects.
This would enable the Charity to raise its
level of donations.
The Trustees had already in 2023
concluded that there was scope to increase
the annual level of donations and in
anticipation of this had slightly amended
the composition of the investments through
a modest shift from COIF accumulation to
COIF income units. This accounts for the
higher level of investment incorne disclosed
under A1 Receipts and cash under B1
Cash Funds.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity's work has made to
the circumstsnces of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20
The Trustees remain alert to expanding the
range of the Trust's beneficiaries.
The following grants were made in relation
to ongoing projects:
Page 2

Ongoing projects:
A grant of £15,000 to Glass Door, a London
Homeless charity sponsored by and
supported by local churches.
A grant of £15,000 to Scotscare, a
charity that provides support to Scottish
people in London who are facing hardship,
need, or distress. In making this grant the
Trustees were conscious of the historical
support given to the fledging St Paul's
Church by the Church of Scotland.
A grant of £15,000 to support two
volunteers at Q.V.S.R, a retirement home
for International seafarers in East London.
A grant of £15,000 was made to The
Connection at Sl Martin-in-the-fields in
London lo support their ongoing work with
the homeless.
A grant of £5,000 was made to the Historic
Chapels Trust, a charity that wod(s to save
and protect significant non-Anglican places
of worship in England Ihat are no longer in
use by their congregations.
In totsl the grants made were £65,000.
The trust will continue to make grants along
similar lines in the future and is considering
how il might broaden the scope of its
donations. The continuing level of dividend
income and the level of the charity's
reseNes will enable this to be achieved
despite a continuing low level of interest
eamed on bank de
srts.

The trustees consider the investment

charity whilst maintaining the real value of
the original endowment.
The cash reserves of £93,275 are
considered sufficient but not excessive to
meet the immediate needs of the charity. In
reaching this view, the trustees are mindful
of the greater calls on the trust's funds as a

Since the Protestant Church in Gemiany
ceased subsidising the German Churches
in London there has been a continual
demand on the Trusl for funding, which it
has sought to meet where possible and
appropriate.
The Trustees are actively exploring other
areas of support for the work of the Church
in London which would accord with the
charitsble Spirit and traditlons of the original
St Paul's Gennan Church congregations.
Of particular interest is the potential for
working with churches supporting the
