Annual Report for the year ending 31 March 2022
Shree Sukhpur Earthquake Relief Trust is constituted by Deed of Trust and is a registered charity, No. 1085396. The Charity address is at 59 Mount Pleasant Road, Chigwell, Essex IG7 5EP. The charity trustees during the year to 31 March 2022 were:
Mr Lalji Velji Bhudia (Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary) Mr Arvind Mavji Kethani Mr Premji Lalji Hirani (Vice-Chairman) Mr Devshi Kanji Velani Mr Ramji Ravji Patel Mr Devshi Shivji Lalji Patel Mr Kishore Ramji Patel Mr Devshi Gopal Naran Mr Hirji Lalji Bhudia Mr Karsan Arjan Vaghani Mr Gopal Kanji Naran Mr Umesh Premji Patel Mr Karsan Shivji Bhuva Mr Mavji Hira Patel
The charity was registered on 6 March 2001 following the devastating earthquake in Bhuj on 26 January 2001, which destroyed approximately 90% of Sukhpur. The object of the charity is to relieve distress caused by the earthquake in Sukhpur, Bhuj, Gujarat, India on 26 January 2001. The purpose is to use the funds to relieve those who may need help whether now or in the future because of this tragedy, with special consideration being given to orphans, the elderly and people who are with disability.
The charity is continuing with its objectives of providing long-term assistance through SSERT Hospital in Sukhpur by providing basic GP services 24 hours per day including Physio services, Dental and Eye Clinic and Medical Store at the hospital. We are also making donation to the Sukhpur Tiffin Service to provide 2 meals daily free or partly paid every day to the needy people in the town. The hospital is still providing a valuable service to the local community and the surrounding towns. The committee and the trustees are happy with the service it is providing. We have set up Dental clinic from April 2018 with a fulltime dentist employed.
The charity is still running completely on interest and the income generated by the Hospital and Medical Store. The trustees believe that whilst the charity is able to support itself there is no need to generate any additional funds in UK.
As per previous year’s report we have opened 3 trustees NRE account no. 382413110000565 with foreign account status with our existing fund holding bank - Bank of India to hold the SSERT funds in the 3 UK trustee names with any 2 trustee’s signatures to operate the account. We have also arranged the legal agreement to protect the SSERT funds and the trustees against any legal or tax problems or any funds ownership problems while the SSERT funds are held in their names. The 3 trustees on the legal agreement are Lalji V Bhudia, Hirji Lalji Bhudia, Gopal Kanji Naran. The bank has agreed to hold all the existing fixed deposit accounts held in the SSERT trust name and we will transfer them to the 3-trustee account as they mature. The fund’s transferring process has started in March 2022 and we will complete all the funds transfer end of June 2022 into the 3 trustee’s account.
We have purchased new fully automatic blood testing machine connected to a computer and printer in November 2021. The machine runs 15 common blood tests and results are printed from the computer and given to the patients to review with the doctor.
We will be reducing the number of trustees who are less active as mentioned in the last years report at the meeting to be held in July 2022 to allow any new persons who regularly visit Sukhpur and who are interested in joining the charity to become trustees so that we are able to run more efficiently and make it easier to make trustee decisions.
