## **The Rotary Clubs of Telford and District Trust Fund Registered charity no. 1109036** ## **Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2021** The Trustees are pleased to present their Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2021. The Trust has no permanent premises. Correspondence should be addressed to the treasurer, Jim Tranter, at Baxter House, Rowton, Telford, Shropshire, TF6 6QY. The trust was established by Declaration of Trust dated 1[st] September 2004. Trustees are nominated by each of four Rotary Clubs (the Rotary Clubs of Ironbridge, Telford Centre, Wellington and The Wrekin), serve for a four year term, and may be reappointed. It is the practice of the Trust to distribute substantially the whole of the restricted funds raised in each financial year as soon as practicable. Material reserves are therefore not carried. The purposes of the charity as set out in the Trust Deed are to apply the capital and income of the trust fund for such purposes as the trustees shall from time to time direct. Funds are applied to causes nominated by the four Rotary Clubs and the public benefit will be apparent from the list shown in the financial statements. The principal activity during the year has, as in previous years, been the promotion of a Tree of Light in Telford Town Centre. This was again very successful and led to £42,000 being raised for six deserving local causes – the Severn Hospice; Hope House; Telford After Care Team; East Shropshire Talking Newspaper; Citizens Advice Telford and Wrekin; and YMCA Wellington (Holly Project). The Tree of Light has continued in 2021/2022. The fund also provides a vehicle for charitable activities proposed and funded by local Rotary Clubs. The Trust has no employees and all decisions are taken by the Trustees. The Trust’s achievements in the financial year are set out in the receipts and payments account. The Trustees who served during the year ended 30 June 2021, and to the date of this report, were: Paul William Booth Christopher Broad Marjorie Florence Johnson Daniel Scollard-Kerr Christopher John Mackrell Francis Martin Curry Peter George Seaward Maxwell Clowes (to 13 August 2020) Jim Tranter Arthur Raymond Hoof (from 13 August 2020) P Seaward (Chairman) 13 January 2022 The Rotsry Club$ of TeW¢>rd & DI￿ri¢t Tru$t Fun RKeip15 and Payrnents AGGount. year ended 30 June 2021 RestrictgcJnre5tricted Funds Funds Totsl Balance Brought Forward 5679 5679 RÈcÈlpts Donstions Received Gift Aid Réceived Sponsorship Club Contribution8 Bank Interest Amazon Smilè Transfer between funds 32690 6391 32690 6391 5251 1000 5251 1000 1913 -1913 Total Recelpts 42000 9017 51017 Payments PostagÈ Paypal charge8 900 177 1603 150 100 900 177 1603 ISO 100 W&t>8ile Gifts Totsl Expense5 2930 2930 Donatlons to Good Causes S8vern Hospice, Telford Hope House T81ford Att8r Care Team East Shropshire Talking Newspaper Citizens Advicè Telford and Wrekin YMCA Wellington (Holly Project) 21000 10500 2625 2625 2625 2625 21000 10500 2625 2625 2625 2625 Total Donations 42000 0 42000 Bank Balance Carried Forward 6087 6087 The above accounts were approv&d by the Tustees al their meeting on 13 January 2022 P G Soaward Chairman Independent Exarniner's Report I hav& examined th8 above accounts wlhout carrwng out an audit and c&rtify that they ar8 in 4GGordance ￿ryth Ihe aGGounling records. information and explanations supplied to me.
