## **The Rotary Clubs of Telford and District Trust Fund Registered charity no. 1109036** ## **Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2024** The Trustees are pleased to present their Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2024. The Trust has no permanent premises. Correspondence should be addressed to the treasurer Jim Tranter, at 73, Wrekin Road, Wellington, Telford, TF1 1RL. 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 Centre. This was again very successful and led to £40,000 being raised for three deserving local causes – the Severn Hospice, Hope House and First Responders Telford. The Tree of Light has continued in 2024/2025. 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.
