INTERNATIONAL BRIGADE MEMORIAL TRUST Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2022
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The International Brigade Memorial Trust keeps alive the memory and spirit of the men and women from Britain and Ireland who served in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 and all those who supported them in their home countries. We do this by helping to look after and erect memorials to the volunteers, by encouraging research and historical investigation into the volunteers, by promoting the preservation of archives, by publishing a regular magazine and e-newsletter, by organising and supporting cultural events and activities, by maintaining a website and using other online media and by various other commemorative and educational activities.
Statement on public benefit
The trustees comprise our Executive Committee, which is elected at our Annual General Meeting. The committee meets three times per year.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The International Brigade Memorial Trust is an active and vibrant organisation with more than 900 paying members and several group affiliations, mainly trade unions, whether nationally, regionally or by branch. During 2021/22 the trust organised or participated in many successful events in the British Isles and Spain 2 that raised its profile and promoted its aims and objectives. These were reported in our magazine, which can be viewed or downloaded from our website (www.international-brigades.org.uk), in our e-newsletter and on various social media platforms. Such activities require significant expenditure, along with time and skills provided by Executive Committee members and other volunteers, as does the general administration of the trust, and we are once again grateful to all those who have contributed towards fulfilling our aims.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves
The trustees consider it necessary that unrestricted reserves are held in order to discharge the projected expenditure for the next 12 months. Trustees monitor and review the level of reserves at each year-end and at least once during the year.
