Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The purpose of the Trust is to apply its income and capital for the benefit of such charitable purposes as the trustees think fit. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commissioner’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the grant policy for the year.
The trust furthers it’s charitable purposes by making grants to other charities, both in the UK and abroad, which share it’s values, in caring for people and/or places and/or spreading the Gospel of Christ. In exceptional circumstances grants may be given to individuals working on projects or engaging in activities that further the Charity's objectives.
Grant making policy
The Trustees usually make grants to charities or church bodies with which the Trustees are familiar. Grants are not usually made as a result of unsolicited requests.
We review the grant making policy annually to ensure that it reflects the charities objectives and thereby advances public benefit.
Financial review and how our grant making delivered public benefit
A grant of £2,100 was given to Gloucester Circuit of the Methodist Church, which is itself a charity recognised as working for the public benefit. This was a contribution toward the cost of the Youth and Family Worker at Eastington Methodist Church. In 2020 £3,500 was contributed to The Gloucester Circuit to help support the Rev Graham Miles.
The trust also received gifts of £9,000 to be passed to Compassion’s Covid-19 Appeal (2020 £nil).
Investment policy and performance
The Trust’s funds are currently held in non interest bearing accounts, because the size of the fund, and the amount of interest available to charities is very low and would produce minimal returns.
*Risk management
The Trustees have adopted a low risk approach to running the Charity. It has no employees and does not engage in activities which could expose it to financial liabilities.
Financial reviewing
The trust had reserves of £29,209 at 5[th] April 2021 (£12,709 2020).
Reserves policy
The Charity has minimal overheads and forward liabilities. Any grant commitments into the future will be held in designated or restricted funds as appropriate depending on the conditions applying to the grant.
The Trust has a policy to hold £1,000 as a minimum reserve to cover any unforeseen costs that might otherwise risk the solvency of the Charity.
Plans for the future
The Charity will continue to provide grants in line with the resources available to it. It is anticipated that additional financial donations will be made by the Trustees from time to time.
